Using patterns to improve our architectural vision
Norm Kerth, Ward Cunningham · IEEE Software · 1997
Pattern languages can play an important role in furthering the use of architecture and objects in software design, but first we must understand what these terms mean. The authors use the work of Christopher Alexander (1975, 1979, 1981, 1985) to illuminate the problems and shed light on future directions in our use of pattern languages in design.
