Architecture is about making solid foundation that will withstand time and carry the entire building along with unanticipated enhancements and additions. But Agile seems to favor short term benefits over long term ones, while architect values long term benefits over short term gains. In the world short term benefits can be quite disastrous in the long run. Like our 200 years old industrial revolution seems to be destroying and poisoning our habitat now.
