And funny you should say that, we need to get together and chat sometime. :) Part of my dissertation is a new catalog of Elemental Design Patterns that I think have great utility in teaching OO programming *and* architecture design simultaneously.
Just ran across a new Patterns book though, Head First Design Patterns (part of a series of intro books) and from the sample chapter I've read, I'm pretty impressed with its ability to get the concepts across quickly. It's lightweight in tone, but had a lot of actual content.
