A pattern describes a solution to conflicting forces, to quote ChristopherAlexander, "in such a way that you can use this solution a million times over, without ever doing it the same way twice."
Christopher ALEXANDER was writing primarily about architecture, construction, and urban/regional planning -- how people organize their environment. His ideas about patterns have been applied to software development by WardCunningham and others.
