I think the "pidgeon-hole" approach is prone to failure. It may mearly
be a metaphor lost in translation, but in my experience architecture,
design, and workflow all need to be looked at together and they
influence each other. The result is not a pidgeon-holing, rather a
mutual growth of concept and direction.
