## Entries

- [Adapter Pattern](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/adapter-pattern.md): A design pattern that wraps a component with an incompatible interface so it implements the interface its callers expect.
- [Facade Pattern](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/facade-pattern.md): A design pattern that gives a subsystem one simple entry point, so callers do not depend on its parts.
- [Proxy Pattern](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/proxy-pattern.md): A design pattern that places a stand-in with the same interface in front of an object, to control, defer or cache access to it.
- [Bridge Pattern](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/bridge-pattern.md): A design pattern that separates two independent axes of variation into two hierarchies joined by composition.
- [Decorator Pattern](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/decorator-pattern.md): A design pattern that adds behavior to an object by wrapping it in another object with the same interface.
- [Composite Pattern](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/composite-pattern.md): A design pattern that gives leaves and groups one interface, so a tree is traversed without checking which kind each node is.
- [Flyweight Pattern](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/flyweight-pattern.md): A design pattern that shares one copy of immutable intrinsic state among many objects, each keeping only its own extrinsic state.
