This deserted house near downtown Mountain View went through a rapid decay lately. First, someone set a fire and burned down part of the house. Several weeks later, a fence was put in and I noticed the inside of the house was torn down. What's the owner's plan for the house? Is it going to be torn down and rebuilt? Will the new house have the same style? Which part of the existing house do I want to keep? (I like the bay window and the inside porch.)
As a software architect I started to pay attention to how real life architecture works. (It's not a new concept. The whole "design pattern" idea was borrowed from the architect Christopher Alexander's work.) The hard part, is the continuous way of building. Building software can become a ever lasting home remodeling (with people still living in.) Without care, you may find the house you are building soon becomes the Winchester Mystery House.
