- [Factory Method Pattern](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/factory-method-pattern.md): A design pattern in which a base class calls an overridable method to create the objects its workflow uses.
- [Abstract Factory Pattern](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/abstract-factory-pattern.md): A design pattern that creates a whole family of related objects through one interface, so the members always match.
- [Builder Pattern](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/builder-pattern.md): A design pattern that assembles a complex object step by step through named calls and validates it when it is built.
- [Prototype Pattern](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/prototype-pattern.md): A design pattern that creates new objects by cloning a prepared template and applying overrides.
