Ethnoarchaeology and Cultural Influences in Architecture
Ethnoarchaeology in Architecture
Ethnoarchaeology is the study of living traditional societies to understand past built forms and human behavior. It helps interpret the relationship between climate, materials, culture, and architecture.
Case Study: Kutch Bhunga Houses, Gujarat
- Circular plan: 3–6 m diameter.
- Thick mud walls: 300–450 mm for thermal insulation.
- Roofing: Conical thatch on a wooden frame.
- Planning: Small windows, low doors, and cluster-based settlement.
- Performance: High stability during
Mastering Modularity and SOLID Principles in OO Design
SOLID Principles and Software Modularity
The lecturer is skeptical of SOLID as a strict design recipe. Instead, they emphasize that the real goal of software engineering is modularity.
Single Responsibility Principle (SRP)
- Defined as “single responsibility” or “one reason to change.”
- Definitions are often vague and changing, making it hard to apply consistently.
- It is better to think in terms of concepts and roles.
Open/Closed Principle (OCP)
- Software should be open for extension but closed for modification.
OMG Model-Driven Architecture: Principles and Frameworks
OMG Model-Driven Architecture (MDA)
The Object Management Group (OMG) has defined a comprehensive proposal for applying Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) practices to system development: MDA (Model-Driven Architecture).
Four Principles of MDA
- Models must be expressed in a well-defined notation to enable effective communication and understanding.
- System specifications must be organized around a set of models and associated transformations (mappings and relations between multi-layered models).
- Models must

Animal Farm: The Pigs’ Abuse of Power
The Battle of Cowshed and the Rise of Pig Authority
The pigs abused their power during the Battle of Cowshed by using the victory to raise their own status above the other animals, even though everyone fought together. After the battle, Snowball and Napoleon were awarded “Animal Hero, First Class” and treated as key leaders. This demonstrates that the pigs began to present themselves as more important than the rest, highlighting their own roles despite the collective effort. This suggests they
