Abstract In this article, we present an approach to architecture‐driven design of object‐oriented frameworks based on the notion of object‐oriented materialization of architectural styles. This approach leads us to the development of the proto‐framework concept, which is a new denomination for an object‐oriented framework that provides the essential basis to build other frameworks that adopt an underlying architectural design derived from non‐object‐oriented styles. In this context, we describe the approach to framework design, the design of a particular proto‐framework called Bubble, and a real example of its application to the design of an enterprise framework.
