 RFC 1913 (rfc1913) - Architecture of the Whois++ Index Service
In this architecture, a directory query is delivered to a certain agent in the tree, and then handed up or down, as appropriate, so that the query is delivered to the agent which holds the information which fills the query.
The Yellow Pages problem Current implementations of this hierarchical architecture have also been unsuited to solving the Yellow Pages problem; that is, the problem of easily and flexibly building special-purpose directories (say of molecular biologists) and of automatically maintaining these directories once they have been built.
However, the directory architecture is in a very real sense independent of what types of forward knowledge are handed around, and it is entirely possible to build a unified directory which uses many types of forward knowledge.

 Anneke.Net > Adolf Loos > Paper
Establishing the contrast between art and architecture, Adolf Loos identifies the two-pronged mantra of functionality and evoked emotions of architecture, reflecting on the perversity of ornamentation too often lauded by the surrounding fin-de-siecle Viennese society's attempt to hide mediocrity beneath the novelty of modernity.
Architecture, in contrast, is an enclosure of space attempting to comfortably accommodate a structural need in the most efficiently functional manner possible.
Architecture, therefore, cannot be art, since it accommodates the clients' requirements that it be functional and emotionally comforting, a more public structure responsible to the collective.
