Talk:Architectural style

This page needs lots of working. The information is inadequate and sometimes incorrect.
(orig posted by KRS on Warofdreams' talk page) Regarding your edits in Architectural style, it is good that you have removed the short descriptive sentences(which I have been wanting to do for some time).
But your categorisation is not accurate, though you have claimed it to be. I think the earlier categorisation was better and more accurate, probably because I ordered it out of the confusion which existed earlier:-)
Some of the mistakes as of now are - 1.You can't classify something as Western tradition, probably under Western architecture 2.Islamic architecture is not under Western tradition. 3. Deconstructivism is not usually classified under Postmodern architecture, it is one of the many directions after modernism. Or you should use post Modern Modern with a gap, in the sense of after.
You have also removed links by changing the names, if you do that you have to use the disambiguation technique so that the links still are valid.
Will be changing it shortly. If you have anything to clarify, let's discuss in Talk Page of article. KRS 15:51, 15 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- I think this is more accurate, though as you point out, it still needs lots of work. Why not Western tradition? Islamic architecture is heavily influenced by the Western tradition, most immediately by Byzantine architecture (of course there are other influences). Deconstructivism is often classified under postmodern architecture, but Post Modern architecture would suit me fine. Which links have been removed? Point them out and I'll happily reinsert them - thought I had them all. Warofdreams 15:58, 15 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- There are lots of directions after modernism, Postmodernism being only one of them. Also, after the advent of modernism, also called as international style, the directions can no longer be called Western. Hence the very classification under Western tradition is not correct after this period. For example, Critical Regionalism is a direction which though has universal application, is more followed in countries such as India, Japan, etc.,And Islamic architecture is not influenced heavily by Western tradition at all.
