In Defense of the Validity of the “Canon” in Architecture
This position paper reflects on the persistence of the “canon” in architectural history, defending it not only with regard to the discourse of architectural history but for all discussion of architecture. Our argument for the canon’s validity is based on three credos: a) the autonomy of the discipline, b) the merging of the excellent and difficult with

Christopher Alexander and the Inadequacy of Genius in the Architecture of the Coming Age
There are only two ways of looking at any design problem despite all the elaborations evolved from these two paths. Either a designer directs an outcome and creates a product, or a solution is derived from a process involving the people and circumstances

Accelerating architectural exploration using canonical instruction segments [PDF]
Detailed microarchitectural simulators are not well suited for exploring large design spaces due to their excessive simulation times. We introduce AXCIS, a framework for fast and accurate design space exploration. AXCIS achieves fast simulation times by exploiting repetitions in program behavior to reduce the number of instructions simulated.
