The penultimate part of Stuart Brands 1997 six part series for the BBC documenting buildings and the way they behave over time. Many Amazon reviewers of the accompanying book note the parallels with many aspects of software or system design which is my reason for including it here. Part five deals with maintenance and decay – unquestionably also a software problem. The solutions for buildings is not the same for software but the concepts are; and Brands commentary is as interesting as ever.
