Open Source Architecture: An Exploration of Source Code and Access in Architectural Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
The term open source is increasingly applied to architecture, yet there is little consensus about what it means in this context. This paper explores how different literal and metaphoric interpretations of the “access to source code” principle, set by the founders of the Free and Open Source Software movements, are being applied to architecture. The authors explore several challenges that have arisen in the translation of open source rhetoric from cyberspace to architectural space and discuss paths for new conceptual and programmatic agendas promoting user empowerment and democratization in architectural design.

Nature as a Source of Inspiration of Architectural Conceptual Design
From the beginning of creation, human being was surrounded by nature. Everything in nature is well organized and in harmony with the other parts of it. Through the history, nature has been always a source of inspiration for the human begin in different aspects of their life. Architecture as one of the remarkable features in every society cannot be separated from nature. In architecture design...
متن کاملAutomatic architectural enforcement
Automatic architectural enforcement would be very beneficial especially in product line development using open source practices where there is very limited or no access to the architects and the architecture is of paramount importance. However, current techniques for modelling software architecture do not support the modelling of architectural design rules which means that architectural enforce...
متن کاملSemi-automated architectural abstraction specifications for supporting software evolution
In this paper we present an approach for supporting the semi-automated architectural abstraction of architectural models throughout the software lifecycle. It addresses the problem that the design and implementation of a software system often drift apart as software systems evolve, leading to architectural knowledge evaporation. Our approach provides concepts and tool support for the semiautoma...

Imagination and its relation to creativity are among the most important issues related to the design category in various areas of architectural inquiry such as architectural design, whose function and role have changed in recent decades due to use and application of computers in the architectural design processes. Given all the changes occurred in the meaning and concept of architecture, by the...
متن کاملContinuous Integration with Architectural Invariants
Software erosion is a common problem in larger software projects [3, 5]. As a code base grows, more effort needs to be invested to keep an implementation aligned with its intended architecture. Designers may need to introduce new architectural guidelines as existing ones no longer fit the complexity or the purpose of the project. The code base is then gradually refactored in order to conform to...
