Most traditional and oldest architectural pattern

You start with a big problem and decompose it into several smaller, semi-independent problems

• OBJECT-ORIENTED
• CLIENT-SERVER
• LAYERED

Solves the problem from the top down, and write the code from the bottom up

Has computational components called filters

Filters act as transducers that take input, transform it according to one or more algorithms.

Won't work so well for interactive applications

The Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern breaks an application into three parts: the model, the view, and the controller.

The main idea is separation of concerns--and code
