Talk:Rock-cut architecture

message: Thanks for the input. I found the stub and began to input the text. I think I have most of the necessary citations or can get them easily enough. Yes rock-cut architecture is definitely a term, but there is some confusion, as I explain at the beginning since many Chinese sources will talk of 'caverns,' which is still a coloqualism and sometimes found in older scholarship. Recent scholarship, has purged itself of these terms in favor of rock-cut architecture, and I think we can go with that.Brosi 23:21, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I left a note about this on Brosi's talkpage but here are some things to consider:
*I put three more pictures on the page, two previously mentioned but Longmen Grottoes was new to the article. Are they okay?
*Maybe we can add theaters to the typical "program" which includes tombs, temples, and living quarters since there is an amphitheater at Petra.
*Also I'd like to include something about the Bandelier and Puye Cliff-dwellings, and the Toraja tombs.
*Maybe we should contrast structures cut into cliffs with ones built with masonry in natural openings such as the Cliff Palace at Mesa Verde.
*Here are some more illustrations below to consider...

thread_title:  more to consider 

message: ;Additional points
*more about writing (hieroglyphics), painting, and sculpture
*technical similarity to stone quarying and mining
*maybe an iwl at :de:Felsengrab, which translates to rock grave, should we have separate articles for rock tomb and rock temple, there is already a very brief article at rock temple, should it be merged here?
*more articles to consider (some I have added images of below): Cave monastery, Monolithic church, Chamber tomb, Rock-hewn Churches of Ivanovo (pictures on de:), Naqsh-e Rustam, Taq-e Bostan, Beni Hasan, Tombs of the Kings (Paphos), :de:Campu Luntanu, Domus de Janas, Dwarfie Stane , David Garedja monastery complex 
;Recent applications
*rock cutting for passages and transportation, ie tunneling 
*Roden Crater? No article for this at present, but I have started something on my desktop.

thread_title: Other uses

message: I'm also slightly confused about this article "Rock Cut Architecture" and why it is specifically related to India. Does this not include all dwellings/buildings dug, carved or cut from rock? Wouldn't it also include I Sassi (The Sassi, on the English page) of Matera in Italy? 
I guess I'm really wondering if there is something particular about Indian rock cut architecture that limits the scope of this particular article and if so should it then not be called Indian Rock cut architecture -=mini=- (talk) 02:14, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
