Requirements?

Author made me fill like I was blind all these years...
Kidding aside, all these forces author mentions are secondary forces, while requirements should be the primary and the commanding force.

It is all too simple to say "requirements drive design" and be done with it. What I am constantly amazed at are the myriad different ways people tackle software problems and all those subtle choices they make when crafting their solutions. I think it is good to reflect from time to time on why we do software design the way we do as well as what we personally value. I've just written a blog posting that might spur some discussion on this. www.wirfs-brock.com/2009/01/what-drives-design....

Design principles
by
Anders Sjöberg
To me it is about implementing the design principles that Robert C Martin writes about in this article; www.objectmentor.com/resources/articles/Princip... . As he writes in the article I think it will help me create something which is "...flexible, robust, reusable, and developable.".
Is it a common and clear goal for all of the the design drivers to implement those principles?

Most designers and design approaches I know wouldn't argue much w/ Martin's principles.
