Introduction: The Form-First Paradigm

Introduction: The Form-First Paradigm The classical architecting paradigm is not the only way to create and build large complex systems, nor is it the only regime in which architects and architecting is important.

Its architects are generally members of the technical staff of the company. Their client is the company; although the intention is to reach a customer base in the market.
