We present a review of a recently proposed mechanism for pattern formation in which deterministic or random global alternation of dynamics, neither of which exhibits patterns, induces stationary or oscillatory ordered structures. We illustrate the mechanism by means of Swift-Hohenberg-like models and implement a theoretical analysis in terms of mode amplitude equations. Numerical simulations on 1-d and 2-d lattices support our findings.
