Pattern
Since pattern was imported into japan as part of the term "dressmaking pattern" (pataan)&sbquo its meaning was primarily linked to terms that described two-dimensional states&sbquo such as moyo or zuan (illustrative patterns). Today&sbquo however&sbquo the information science term pataan ninshiki (pattern recognition) has also come into use&sbquo and includes subjects of identification such as characters and figures. In a broader sense it also includes voice recognition as wave patterns in time&sbquo and behavioral patterns have already become an important theme in information science. That is&sbquo pattern has acquired a meaning that integrates categories of behavior&sbquo or various types or formats&sbquo from the initial two-dimensional meaning. In design&sbquo the book Pattern Language by Christopher Alexander might be considered the standard that outlines design elements and factors in the urban environment. I believe it is important to redefine the word pattern. It should be possible to define pattern as a sensible object that allows the conscious perception of factors of some kind of spatial and temporal nature that is generated when elements are structured as factors of certain information&sbquo and the composition that establishes the structure expands and contracts according to already existing forms or types. Objects and events that can be recognized as the objects of the senses head unconsciously for two proqedures. One is to structuralize as a type of factor in a network structure. The other is to structuralize as a type of factor that generates a sequence (links). There is a tendency today in particular to evaluate the effect of design as something that facilitates simple understanding through pattern recognition. In essence&sbquo however&sbquo the basic factor of communication lies in how two people with different pattern recognition share the pattern and mutually accept the sense of value there. For this reason&sbquo we should define more clearly that a pattern is the structuralization of a network structure comprising factors and sequences. In design method and result&sbquo the creation of patterns must be established and the sharing of the patterns must be realized successfuliy. For design&sbquo a pattern is always the object of design itself as an expressive factor.
