The Making of the Book
Photo Album
Photos taken of the journey
with the wise and experienced
Architect and the young
Intern, Hope, in the making of
the book, Enterprise
Architects: Masters of the
Unseen City.

They excavate IT like
archaeologists as they plan
their dig, select their tools,
uncover models, and discover
IT artifacts. Their adventure
takes them into the territory of
the Lords of the Underworld.

They protect their dig and
bring all the models together
into a holistic model as a
virtual city, providing the
Corporate Office full, visual,
access to their use of IT.
