About
This is a weblog about IT architecture. It explores the different aspects of the profession that I am confronted with as an architect. As such it’s not an authority on the subject, but a place for discussion and contemplation.
And who am I? My name is Joris de Vrede and I am an IT enthousiast. I’m a firm believer of IT’s potential, but like a great building it needs to be designed correctly to reach that potential. That’s why I’ve dedicated the last four years on architecture, in the hope that I can help in the fulfillment of my own beliefs.
I’ve structured this weblog into the following categories.
Profession
What is an architect? We all know the description form the building world, but how does it apply to the world of IT?
Principles and Qualities
It appears to be the added value of an architect to design the right qualities based on the principles of the governing organisation.
Methods and Tools
How does one perform the role of an architect? What are the steps to take and the means to structure your work?
Please take a look around and let me know what you think, because there is always room for comments.
