Raising the Architect from the dead

Danah Boyd has a nice post about architecture as persistant beta, and how buildings might be fashioned like websites, fitted with a benevolent dictator, as a participant in the building's evolution.  she asks:

"Should the architect support the aging of the house to allow it to become eccentric?"

It's certainly an argument for modularity.  Pods as upgrades, perhaps? This is half a thought at best, but better to post and revisit later, than forget entirely.
