Editorial Review Product Description Why Architecture Matters is not a work of architectural history or a guide to the styles or an architectural dictionary, though it contains elements of all three. The purpose of Why Architecture Matters is to come to grips with how things feel to us when we stand before them, with how architecture affects us emotionally as well as intellectually”with its impact on our lives. Architecture begins to matter,” writes Paul Goldberger, when it brings delight and sadness and perplexity and awe along with a roof over our heads.” He shows us how that works in examples ranging from a small Cape Cod cottage to the vast, flowing” Prairie houses of Frank Lloyd Wright, from the Lincoln Memorial to the highly sculptural Guggenheim Bilbao and the Church of Sant’Ivo in Rome, where simple geometries . . . create a work of architecture that embraces the deepest complexities of human imagination.” Based on decades of looking at buildings and thinking about how we experience them, the distinguished critic raises our awareness of fundamental things like proportion, scale, space, texture, materials, shapes, light, and memory. Upon completing this remarkable architectural journey, readers will enjoy a wonderfully rewarding new way of seeing and experiencing every aspect of the built world. Customer Reviews (5)

Editorial Review Product Description This award-winning book, substantially updated to reflect the latest developments in the field, introduces the concepts and best practices of software architecture--how a software system is structured and how that system's elements are meant to interact. Distinct from the details of implementation, algorithm, and data representation, an architecture holds the key to achieving system quality, is a reusable asset that can be applied to subsequent systems, and is crucial to a software organization's business strategy. Drawing on their own extensive experience, the authors cover the essential technical topics for designing, specifying, and validating a system. They also emphasize the importance of the business context in which large systems are designed. Their aim is to present software architecture in a real-world setting, reflecting both the opportunities and constraints that companies encounter. To that end, case studies that describe successful architectures illustrate key points of both technical and organizational discussions. Topics new to this edition include: If you design, develop, or manage the building of large software systems (or plan to do so), or if you are interested in acquiring such systems for your corporation or government agency, use Software Architecture in Practice, Second Edition, to get up to speed on the current state of software architecture.

Editorial Review Product Description For architectural patterns, the authors look at the Layers pattern,used in operating systems such as Windows NT and virtualmachines. They also consider Pipes and Filters, which process streamsof data. (This pattern, the authors point out, is a lynchpin of Unix.)Their Blackboard pattern shows how a complex problem, such as image orspeech recognition can be broken up into smaller, specializedsubsystems that work together to solve a problem. (For recognizingwords from a raw waveform input, a Blackboard approach might haveseparate processes to find phonemes, then words, then sentences.) This book also looks at today's distributed systems in considering theBroker pattern, which is used on the Internet and in Microsoft's OLEtechnology.This section also presents several powerful patterns forbuilding effective graphical user interfaces, such asModel-View-Controller. The authors define several well-known design patterns, such as theProxy and Command patterns, and also basic, far-reaching patterns,such as Whole-Part and Master-Slave, which are widely used throughoutcomputing. Their survey ends with a discussion on the way objects cancommunicate (using such patterns as Forwarder-Receiver,Client-Dispatcher-Server, and Publisher-Subscriber), which manydevelopers will recognize as familiar patterns, but are codified hereas "official" patterns. The book then discusses some idiomsin C++ and a more far-reaching role for patterns in software designand architecture.By fitting patterns into traditional softwareengineering practices, the authors of Pattern-Oriented SoftwareArchitecture successfully argue that the role for patterns willonly continue to diversify and enrich tomorrow's software engineeringtools and methodologies. --Richard Dragan Customer Reviews (16)
Too expensive
Amazing book
The second best pattern book
Not concrete enough
Clear and wide-ranging Only chapter 2 really addresses patterns for the strategic, architectural level of a software system. It does a very adequate job, using a variety of notations, examples, and analysis steps. This book is from 1996, so time has changed our view of some patterns. "Reflection," for example, has become pervasive in applications based on plugins and software components. It is also a fundamental API in the major langauges (Java and C#) released since this book was published - perhaps reflection should be downgraded to an "idiom". That's just nitpicking, though, since reflection is even more important now than when the book was written. For contrast, the authors present additional design patterns (including some from Gamma's book) for use at tactical design levels. They also discuss idioms patterns that typically involve just a few lines of code within on function. The contrast between the three different levels of implementation and design gives a useful discussion. The authors also present a weak chapter on "systems" or "langauges" of patterns The discussion is OK as far as it goes. The weakness is in what it omits. After reading this brief chapter, the programmer has very little practical information about choosing patterns from some library for some task. The poor programmer has no information at all about how to link patterns together, and that's a real stumbling block for beginning pattern users. The final section of the book is really sociology. It's about the pattern community, what that community is for, and how to be a working member. I find the discussion un-helpful, but I expect opinions to differ. Even today, this is a good second book (after Gamma's 'Design Patterns') on patterns and pattern usage. It lack the depth and precision of Gamma's book, and tends to add words without adding meaning. On the positive side, it's broader than Gamma's, and addresses a wider range of implementation levels. ... Read more |
