"Soft Architecture is a place in which structure is defined by memory.

Social networks are defined by soft architectures, in which inside and outside often change places. Wikis are a form of soft architecture because they are both structured and expandable. Every edit changes a Wiki, and the shape of that Wiki shapes how the next person edits it.
