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)

The Arts and Crafts style has been overlooked here. Perhaps an external link is required?
There's a style of architecture whose name I do not know but I'm curious about. The general idea is that something very beautiful and ornate is concealed behind something which is worn and ugly. For example, if you've heard of "The Ruins" restaurant in Seattle, it's a very opulent restaurant concealed inside an old warehouse. The outside is very worn, but inside they build some sort of a substructure to make it appear like its own building inside a building. In the movie Face/Off, as well, the apartment there is much like this style. Does anyone know what this is called/have any information about it?
I live in central Illinois and in any downtown around here there are tall, narrow buildings all next to each other in a block. They were built from like 1865-1920ish. What kind of architectural style could this be? This picture shows some of kind of buildings I'm talking about: http://www.city-data.com/picfilesc/picc34794.php —Preceding unsigned comment added by Soyseñorsnibbles (talk • contribs) 22:15, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Sure, God willing and the creek don't rise. The article's coverage of the commercial versions of the styles is pretty .... nonexistent.
The dragon-headed stave architectural of the 1100's and presumably earlier (which Stave churches are made in) should probably be added in-between Norman & Gothic architecture. Though an article would have to be made. Nagelfar (talk) 10:25, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Have removed following item from the top of the article as it makes no sense the way it is written:
Is it meant to be recommendations of how to edit the article, or an intro, or what? Anyway, it makes little sense the way it is written. Please re-enter and edit the text, so it makes more sense. Dieter Simon (talk) 00:05, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
There is a sentence in the first paragraph: "Most architecture can be classified as a chronology of styles which changes over time.", and another in the second paragraph: "Styles therefore emerge from the history of a society...", which seem to depend on a commitment to a historicist or idealist account of architecture. Although buildings are classified in a chronological order of styles, it doesn't follow that architecture or styles emerge from history.
For example, one may argue that the gothic style didn't emerge from history but from a specific building in Saint-Denis in 1144. We may, of course, include such a discovery in a historical sequence, but it is unclear whether it emerged from that sequence. Futurism refuted rather than emerged from traditional styles (although one might perhaps say it "emerged" from social unrest). Many contemporary buildings evade styles altogether by being "non-referential", arbitrary, or accidental even.
Therefore, I suggest a more neutral description of architecture or style: one that doesn't assume that they emerge from history.

One might argue that some theme parks, particularly those of the Disney variety, have a distinctive architectural and planning style - it is a combination of styles, really, but there is a distinctive logic underlying those styles, revolving around the functioning of theme parks. Do any reliable sources support such a hypothesis? 68.37.254.48 (talk) 17:16, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
I don't think that Chicago Style and Commercial Style is the same thing. My insomnia is compounded by the fact that the claim that they are the same is made by a dead link. Marcus Whiffen (WHAT! a red link?) in his American ArchitectureSince 1780: A Guide to the Styles does not have them as being the same. Condit, in his groundbreaking The Chicago School of Architecture suggests that they might be the same thing, but then he goes up to Harry Weese and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, which we also seem to do even though these are clearly a different style from the earlier stuff. As my wife might say, "We have a relationship so let's talk about it." Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 17:54, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
it seems as though the chronology section wants to categorize based upon eras and regions at the same time. The problem with this is that the European method of tracking eras (prehistoric, classical, medieval, Modern) does not translate very well to regional civilization eras. This is especially true for the Americas where you probably should not split architecture up into classical and medieval categories. THe whole thing seems quite confusing.
