§ Software Architecture § Architect role

One of the major properties of software is conceptual integrity. If the system has conceptual integrity, it will be easy to implement and use.

If a system is to have conceptual integrity, someone must control the concepts. That is an aristocracy that needs no apology. —Brooks₁₉₉₅
