Talk:Byzantine architecture

message: Would you be interested in a photo or two of the Byzantine bridge over the Iasmos Gorge in Greece?  I have a few showing one of the arches and some of the stonework.  It would be nice to see some comment on Byzantine bridges in the article; they are pretty amazing -- and it would be interesting to know how the builders kept everything together until they put those last few stones in the arch!  (Presumably, there was lots of scaffolding holding them up...) MeegsC | Talk 14:36, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Byzantine bridges 

message: Should this list be in this article? I think it's a good idea for the following reasons: the links are more extensive than those used in the article itself, more convenient and accessable than combing the article, provide space for relevant links with no proper place in the rest of the article, and are gathered together on no other page. On the other hand, maybe the list should have its own page and be subdivided by category.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.22.122.132 (talk) 03:04, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that, as it stands, the list is useless - all the relevant information should be in a category.  The more important terms and buildings should be in the text - and many of them are.  This is certainly the place for a link to a term such as dome, which is by no means specific to Byzantine architecture.  A list which carries some additional information could merit its own article - for example, a list of Byzantine architecture subdivided by country or by period could be a useful resource.

replies: text: I've been looking at the categories and they're pretty thin. I think I'll try to add this information there.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.22.122.132 (talk) 04:04, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Buildings, features and types of buildings list 

message: This article is well written, but it is too narrow.  One would almost believe that all that the Romans/Byzantines built over a millennium or so were churches.  They did build a lot, but they also built homes, palaces, aqueducts, fortifications, monuments, etc.  I realize that the churches have survived the most with the least alteration, but there are SOME examples of other kinds of architecture, even if it is only infrastructure like the famous Basilica Cistern.  Can anyone flesh this article out to cover Byzantine Architecture and not just Byzantine Church Architecture? TheCormac (talk) 00:58, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  New Section Added 

message: “ Other widely used materials were bricks and stone, not just marble like in Classical antiquity.”
I cannot tell whether the writer means that buildings in Constantinople used materials different from, or the same as, Classical Antiquity. 
If different from, maybe rephrase as: “Unlike in Classical Antiquity, Byzantine architecture used brick and stone in addition to marble.”
If the same as, maybe rephrase like this: “As in the architecture of Classical Antiquity, Byzantine architecture used brick and stone in addition to marble.” E A (talk) 13:47, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

message: See Talk:Al-Masmiyah#Was the temple modified to be used as a church?.
Was that a simply repurposed pagan building that became a model for later church developments? Or was it modified according to an already shaped concept of a church building? Arminden (talk) 14:11, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
