Urban and Enterprise Architectures: A Cross-Disciplinary Look at Complexity

by Roger Sessions and Nikos A. Salingaros 

This paper was originally a lecture by Roger Sessions and Nikos Salingaros and is presented here as lecture notes. This cross-disciplinary paper explores the universal principles of controlling complexity and draws on lessons from urban architecture to better understand how to design coherent enterprise architectures.
Roger Sessions is the author of Simple Architectures for Complex Enterprises, six other books, and dozens of influential papers on enterprise complexity. He is an IASA Fellow and consults with organizations throughout the world on managing enterprise complexity. He holds the world's first patent on a reproducible methodology to reduce enterprise complexity.

Nikos A. Salingaros is the author of Anti-Architecture and Deconstruction (2004), Principles of Urban Structure (2005), and A Theory of Architecture (2006), as well as numerous scientific papers. Dr. Salingaros collaborated with Christopher Alexander, helping to edit the four-volume The Nature of Order during its twenty-five-year gestation, a work that had a huge impact on the Patterns Movement in Software Architecture.
