Idea of patterns

In complex domains, such as motivational & affective aspects it is difficult to come up with cookbook recipes

Pattern-based approaches have proven useful in similar areas, ranging from architecture via software engineering („design patterns“) to educational patterns

55

Why patterns?

Patterns provide a structured description of experiential knowledge on good practices, making explicit the context of the experiences

Patterns are especially useful for newcomers to a domain to gain access to experiential knowledge

Patterns can evolve into a domain language

Example: Pattern Nr. 112 “Entrance transition”

Problem: The experience of entering a building influences the way you feel inside the building. If the transition is too abrupt there is no feeling of arrival, and the inside of the building fails to be an sanctum.

Solution: Make a transition space between the street and the front door. Bring the path which connects street and entrance through this transition space, and mark it with a change of light, of sound, of direction, a change of surface, of level, perhaps by gateways which make a change of enclosure, and above all with a change of view.
