Design pattern
A design pattern is the re-usable form of a solution to a design problem. The idea was introduced by the architect Christopher Alexander[1] and has been adapted for various other disciplines, particularly software engineering.[2]
Examples
- Software design pattern, in software design
- Architectural pattern, for software architecture
- Interaction design pattern, used in interaction design / human–computer interaction
- Pedagogical patterns, in teaching
- Pattern gardening, in gardening
Business models also have design patterns.[3] See Business model § Examples.
