My point is really that we don’t use analogies to design houses and I think we should stop using analogies to design software.
To your first point, I’ve built a couple of houses, and I’ve never had to worry about how they would evolve or be modified by others after they were built.
- lucideer 6y agoAs someone who's known a fair few architects, we unfortunately do use analogies to design houses. Sadly. Glad to hear you don't when designing yours though. > I’ve never had to worry about how they would evolve or be modified by others after they were built. That seems unfortunate. Isn't that something you should want to consider (though you describe it as an undesirable, which seems a shortsighted view of the purpose of buildings).
- imtringued 6y agoHow would you remove the third floor of a 5 story building? I'm sure its possible.
- lucideer 6y agoIt's probably possible, but I'd say it might be slightly easier to remove the 5th floor. After which the 3rd & 4th could be.. you know.. evolved. I've also more often seen space in buildings moved horizontally rather than vertically.
