Architecture is not an inspirational business, it’s a rational procedure to do sensible and hopefully beautiful things; that’s all.
—Harry Seidler
The Winchester Mystery House in San Jose was built by William Winchester. Although it has approximately 160 rooms, it was missing something critical: it’s blueprint, it’s architecture.
The house was built without an architect; the owner just kept adding on to the building in a haphazard fashion. As a result, the mansion contains numerous oddities such as doors and stairs that go nowhere, windows overlooking other rooms, and stairs with odd-sized risers.
Does this sound like your technology and data architecture?
Make the architecture part of your business rather than it’s just another IT cost and don’t keep on adding one more ‘thing’ in your ‘Winchester House’.
