Architect Reloadus and Oryzus

Martin Fowler discusses two different types of Architects, http://martinfowler.com/ieeeSoftware/whoNeedsArchitect.pdf

Architecture is decisons made that are important enough for everybody to know. This boils down to Scope-Impact model.

Reversability is another concept introduced there. Due to lack of reversability of certain decisons, these should be taken early on and are important enough to be part of architecture. The article argues that architect should try to avoid irreversability.
