According to the editors (multiple contributors provided numerous essays for the book's content), Beautiful Architecture is a direct relative to the 2007 O'Reilly book Beautiful Code.

The scope of course, is different; wider and sometimes, less focused than you might imagine. Contributors are given more latitude than authors of technical works are normally provided. The editors and publishers provide the framework, the "architecture" if you will, but each contributor provides his or her (actually, just "his") own vision. Surprises are at least tolerated if not welcomed. Full Story |
