Software Development Body of Knowledge (2) - Design Essential, or Art of War

Note: this is a continued series in sketching a software development body of knowledge, unofficial and un-definitive. You may find the part (1) Joy of Cooking, or Tools of Trade here 

The second part is named "Design Essential, or Art of War"

"A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that work with as few original ideas as possbile" - Freeman Dyson

"The architects will get all the creative fun and shut out the inventiveness of the implementers? Implementation is also a creative activity of the first order". - Mythical Man-Month

Contrary to what many people believe, I always consider architecture the natural extension of design and implementation activity, it is a by-product of necessity. Therefore, design, being it from bottom up or from top down, could only be an activitiy based on the smaller skillsets and knowledges, and fluent use of knowleges.
