Separates the construction of a complex object from its representation, as that the same construction process can create different representations.
- The algorithm for creating a complex object should be independent of the parts that make up the object and how they're assembled.
- The construction process must allow different representations for the object that's constructed.
- You want to get rid of a "telescopic constructor".
- Builder: defines the interface for creating parts of a product object.
- ConcreteBuilder: constructs and assembles parts of the product by implementing the Builder interface, also keeps track of the representation it creates, and provides an interface to retrieve it.
- Director: constructs an object using the builder interface.
- Product: represents the complex object under construction.
