The Argument: Better Architecture Everyday

For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

I had the honor of talking with Len Bass in this episode of the Argument. Leonard Joel Bass is an American software engineer, Emeritus professor and former researcher at the Software Engineering Institute, particularly known for his contributions on software architecture in practice. His most famous title is a book almost all architects have read Software Architecture in Practice, and his other books are just as essential to the modern architect!
In this session Len and I discussed modern architecture approaches with an eye towards design rigor and sustainability, but with a realistic view of similarities and differences in architecture complexity and design today. As one of the first authors I ever read as an architect this was a real pleasure for me!
