Architectural Projects of Marco Frascari

The Pleasure of a Demonstration

By: Sam Ridgway

Marco Frascari believed that architects should design thoughtful buildings capable of inspiring their inhabitants to have pleasurable and happy lives. A visionary Italian architect, academic and theorist, Frascari is best-known for his extraordinary texts, which explore the intellectual, theoretical and practical substance of the architectural discipline. As a student in Venice during the late 1960s, Frascari was taught and mentored by Carlo Scarpa. Later he moved to North America with his family, where he became a fulltime academic. Throughout his academic career, he continued to work on numerous architectural projects, including exhibitions, competition entries, and designs for approximately 35 buildings, a small number of which were built. As a means of (re)constructing the theatre of imaginative theory within which these buildings were created, Sam Ridgway draws on a wide selection of Frascari’s texts, including his richly poetic book Monsters of Architecture, to explore the themes of representation, demonstration, and anthropomorphism. Three of Frascari’s delightful buildings are then brought to light and interpreted, revealing a sophisticated and interwoven relationship between texts and buildings.

Drawing Architecture and the Urban

By: Sam Jacoby

Drawing is an important means to analyse information and develop rigorous arguments both conceptually and visually. Going beyond the how-to drawing manual, this book provides an instrumental approach to drawing, especially computer-generated drawings; it outlines how drawings should be used to convey clear and analytical information in the process of design, as well as the communication and discussion of a project. In depth examples are provided how to communicate effectively. The final section demonstrates how to transform case-studies, directly connecting an analytical approach with the design process.

Principles of Software Architecture Modernization

Delivering engineering excellence with the art of fixing microservices, monoliths, and distributed monoliths (English Edition)

By: Diego Pacheco,Sam Sgro

Long path to better systems that last longer and make engineers and customers happier KEY FEATURES ● Guidance, trade-offs analysis, principles, and insights on understanding complex microservices and monoliths problems and solutions at scale. ● In-depth coverage of anti-patterns, allowing the reader to avoid pitfalls and understand how to handle architecture at scale better. ● Concepts and lessons learned through experience in performing code and data migration at scale with complex architectures. Best usage of new technology using the right architecture principles. DESCRIPTION This book is a comprehensive guide to designing scalable and maintainable software written by an expert. It covers the principles, patterns, anti-patterns, trade-offs, and concepts that software developers and architects need to understand to design software that is both scalable and maintainable. The book begins by introducing the concept of monoliths and discussing the challenges associated with scaling and maintaining them. It then covers several anti-patterns that can lead to these challenges, such as lack of isolation and internal shared libraries. The next section of the book focuses on the principles of good software design, such as loose coupling and encapsulation. It also covers several software architecture patterns that can be used to design scalable and maintainable monoliths, such as the layered architecture pattern and the microservices pattern. The final section of the book guides how to migrate monoliths to distributed systems. It also covers how to test and deploy distributed systems effectively. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN ● Understand the challenges of monoliths and the common anti-patterns that lead to them. ● Learn the principles of good software design, such as loose coupling and encapsulation. ● Discover software architecture patterns that can be used to design scalable and maintainable monoliths. ● Get guidance on how to migrate monoliths to distributed systems. ● Learn how to test and deploy distributed systems effectively. WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR This book is for software developers, architects, system architects, DevOps engineers, site reliability engineers, and anyone who wants to learn about the principles and practices of modernizing software architectures. The book is especially relevant for those who are working with legacy systems or want to design new systems that are scalable, resilient, and maintainable. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. What’s Wrong with Monoliths? 2. Anti-Patterns: Lack of Isolation 3. Anti-Patterns: Distributed Monoliths 4. Anti-Patterns: Internal Shared Libraries 5. Assessments 6. Principles of Proper Services 7. Proper Service Testing 8. Embracing New Technology 9. Code Migrations 10. Data Migrations 11. Epilogue

Software Engineering with Microsoft Visual Studio Team System

By: Juan J. Perez,Sam Guckenheimer

Software Engineering with Microsoft Visual Studio Team System is written for any software team that is considering running a software project using Visual Studio Team System (VSTS), or evaluating modern software development practices for its use. It is about the value-up paradigm of software development, which forms the basis of VSTS: its guiding ideas, why they are presented in certain ways, and how they fit into the process of managing the software lifecycle. This book is the next best thing to having an onsite coach who can lead the team through a consistent set of processes. Sam Guckenheimer has been the chief customer advocate for VSTS, responsible for its end-to-end external design. He has written this book as a framework for thinking about software projects in a way that can be directly tooled by VSTS. It presents essential theory and practical examples to describe a realistic process for IT projects. Readers will learn what they need to know to get started with VSTS, including The role of the value-up paradigm (versus work-down) in the software development lifecycle, and the meanings and importance of “flow” The use of MSF for Agile Software Development and MSF for CMMI Process Improvement Work items for planning and managing backlog in VSTS Multidimensional, daily metrics to maintain project flow and enable estimation Creating requirements using personas and scenarios Project management with iterations, trustworthy transparency, and friction-free metrics Architectural design using a value-up view, service-oriented architecture, constraints, and qualities of service Development with unit tests, code coverage, profiling, and build automation Testing for customer value with scenarios, qualities of service, configurations, data, exploration, and metrics Effective bug reporting and bug assessment Troubleshooting a project: recognizing and correcting common pitfalls and antipatterns This is a book that any team using or considering VSTS should read.
