SOFTWARE AND
ARCHITECTURE
Software architecture is a blueprint for
both the system and the project. It
defines the work assignments that must
be carried out by design and
implementation teams. The architecture is
the primary carrier of system qualities
such as scalability, performance,
modifiability, security and cost reduction,
none of which can be achieved without a
unifying architectural vision.

BATHROOM: 4
TYPES OF LIGHT
The bathroom is one of the
only rooms in a multi-bodied
household where we’re
expected and encouraged to
lock ourselves inside. With
that kind of permission, it
makes sense to use this
private space as a luxurious
sanctuary. Make the most of
your haven by giving it the
proper lighting.

 SOFTWARE &
ARCHITECTURE
The Definition of
Software Architecture
In simple words, software
architecture is the process of
converting software characteristics
such as flexibility, scalability, feasibility,
reusability, and security into a
structured solution that meets the
technical and the business
expectations. This definition leads us
to ask about the characteristics of a
software that can affect a software
architecture design. There is a long
list of characteristics which mainly
represent the business or the
operational requirements, in addition
to the technical requirements.

The Characteristics Of Software
Architecture
As explained, software characteristics describe the requirements
and the expectations of a software in operational and technical
levels. Thus, when a product owner says they are competing in a
rapidly changing markets, and they should adapt their business
model quickly. The software should be “extendable, modular and
maintainable” if a business deals with urgent requests that need to
be completed successfully in the matter of time. As a software
architect, you should note that the performance and low fault
tolerance, scalability and reliability are your key characteristics.
Now, after defining the previous characteristics the business
owner tells you that they have a limited budget for that project,
another characteristic comes up here which is “the feasibility.”

Functionality, innovation, simplicity – arguably the
cornerstones of Japanese design. For a country
renowned for its interiors, it takes the careful
management of all these elements to achieve design
that works in both function and form. More than
that, though, design influences daily life in Japan, and
creates certain customs for the home and how
people live within it.
Opt for bright & white
No, I’m not talking about a Scandi interior – minimal
decor, light woods and lashings of white across the
room are a popular order of the day in many
Japanese interiors, too. Achieving interiors serenity is
an aspiration for many Japanese homeowners, so a
combination like this goes some way to contributing
to that. Blond wood, such as maple or hinoki (a type
of cypress), helps to boost light in an interior.

Covet craftsmanship
Another reason why emptiness is viewed as a
positive is that it gives a way to appreciate detail and
craftsmanship. Japanese culture today is still arguably
heavily influenced by shokunin kishitsu (’craftsman’s
spirit’) with its focus on detail and ‘clean’ aesthetic
beauty. Even their lunch boxes, known as bento
boxes, are perfectly symmetrical and pleasing to the
eye. The term craftsman extends across all trades,
from design professionals to cleaners, each an expert
in their own right, all taking pride in achieving a
simple and attractive result. While it could be hard
to fill your entire home only with examples of great
craftsmanship, working in certain pieces can offer
your interior a sense of individuality. Seek out local
craftspeople; supporting local suppliers is good way.

Celebrate empty space
If you really want to try your hand at working some
Japanese design sensibility into your home, you’ll have
to learn to love space – and that means empty space,
too. Space is believed to be a trigger for imagining,
and the beauty in empty space is that it gives us
room to breathe and let our minds wander, instead
of lingering on what’s there.
The sparseness employed in traditional Japanese
design is a reminder to take pride in unfilled space,
and strike a balance in the home. This room
capitalises on its height with a bare wood framework,
but, with only a few leafy shrubs to populate the
space, there’s plenty of room to take in all the
wonder of minimal detail. Consider what you can
leave out rather than what you can put in.

Create indoor/outdoor flow
A key principle of Japanese design is to create a flow
between indoors and nature outdoors, so as to
appreciate both. Japanese people have a finely tuned
appreciation of the seasons, so being able to respond
to the changing of them is typically a component of
any home. As such, sliding doors are a common
fixture, as they allow for a seamless transition
between indoor and outdoor spaces. In Japan, these
often come in the form of shoji screens, translucent
paper fitted onto a wooden frame, as pictured here.
These not only help to maintain a fluid boundary
between interior and exterior, but serve to boost
light and space while retaining privacy. A great
feature of these types of screens is that they work
seasonally.
