Not many people are cognizant of it, but the world of software has long taken cues from the field of architecture. Much of the vocabulary, even the idea of design patterns is inspired by the work of architects. Software is changing how people interact with the world on a day to day basis, but even with all the advances in this area, the way we design buildings today isn’t that different from 50 or a 100 years ago. Jen Carlile spoke at KeenCon about how Flux is trying to change that.
