message: The Indian Contributuion to Architectural Decoration in Spanish Colonial America by Alfred Neumeyer to be found in the June 1948 edition of The Art Bulletin that might be relevent here, or might not.  Much of what is discussed predates most Churrigueresque architecture, but is seems - to my somewhat unpracticed eye - to be related.

Talk:Catalan vault

message: This article should change its title to  "Tile vault" as it is the name that best describes this construction technique. 
The names that traditionally have had this technique in several languages ​​are limited to describing the thinness, the general appearance or the materials that characterize these type of vaults, without indicating any geographical reference. For example, in Spanish it is called "bóveda tabicada" (partition vault), in French "voûte plate" (flat vault), in Italian "volta a foglio" (sheet vault), in English "tile vault" and even in Catalan "volta de maó de pla" (flat brick vault). It should not be forgotten that, according to the most recent studies, (principally of M. Fortea Luna and P. Araguas) this technique does not arise in Catalonia, but in the Islamic world, and that it is a technique that is traditionally used in many more places besides Catalonia. In fact, tile vault researcher such as John Oschendorf (The Art of Structural Tile) claims that the name "catalan vaults" is recent and politically charged, and Dietrich Neumann (The Guastavino system in context) claims that is preferable to describe this technique as "tile vaults".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.22.228.212 (talk) 13:45, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

message: :a Roman motif ... generally considered to be a reference to the practice of garlanding sacrificial oxen, the heads of which were primitively displayed on the walls of the temples, a practice with a long history reaching back to the sophisticated Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük ...
Is there any actual evidence of continuity in this practice over so vast a period? It seems extremely unlikely, since the end of Çatalhöyük pre-dates the origins of Rome by some 5,000 years. That's a really, really long time; because the distance between now and ancient Rome is less than half as great as the distance between Rome and Çatalhöyük. -- 202.63.39.58 (talk) 09:27, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Oakland is not the largest city in its metropolitan area San Francisco–Oakland–Hayward, CA Metropolitan Statistical Area but for some reason it is excluded. Which suggests the usage of the term is not at all objective, but entirely subjective based on regional bias. On top of that, it all depends on how you define "metropolitan area." If you were to define, for example, a separate Bellevue Metropolitan Area, then overnight Bellevue WA would cease to be a "boomburb". It has no meaning and like most of these nouveaux pop metropolitan terms, they are used by their wielders as they see fit, not by any objective criteria. -- Keith D.

Talk:Bernard Rudofsky

message: Not bad as a start, but I think we should update this with historical information. Whether his work is relevant today is something that can be debated. Architeture without architects was basically written in the NY Public library. He never went or actually studied the places he mentions in the book. Was very much an arm-chair scholar. Anyway, I think there are some people out there who know more about his biography than I and I hope they will contribute.Brosi 17:04, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Andrea Bocco Guarneri book is the only biography of him I have seen, so I think most peoples knowledge of his biography is directly from there. Althogh 'architecture without architects' is probably his most well known work, I think it is essentially a picture book to show people what they are missing (in a very rudofksy style of communicating). Maybe by now it is replacable by some of those glossy colour photo books, then again theres something to be said for finding the best pictures in the library - some of those places dont exist like they used to any more. Most people i know who are real Rudofskyites (to coin a term) prefer his early books like 'now i lay me down to eat' and 'behind the picture window', which cover alot of ground, and I think much more unquestioningly relevant to today...

thread_title: Untitled

message: The following is the entire text from Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1911 "Baluster":
:BALUSTER (through the Fr. from the Ital. balaustro, so-called from a supposed likeness to the flower of the βαλαύστιον, or wild pomegranate; the word has been corrupted in English into "banister"), a small moulded shaft, square or circular in stone or wood and sometimes in metal, supporting the coping of a parapet or the rail of a staircase, an assemblage of them being known as a balustrade. The earliest examples are those shown in the bas-reliefs representing the Assyrian palaces, where they were employed as window balustrades and apparently had Ionic capitals. They do not seem to have been known to either the Greeks or the Romans, but early examples are found in the balconies in the palaces at Venice and Verona. In the hands of the Italian revivalists they became features of the greatest importance, and were largely employed for window balconies and roof parapets.
:The term "baluster shaft" is given to the shaft dividing a window in Saxon architecture. In the south transept of the abbey at St Albans, England, are some of these shafts, supposed to have been taken from the old Saxon church. Norman bases and capitals have been added, together with plain cylindrical Norman shafts.
A Wikipedia editor insists on reinserting  in place of the simple reference: "Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1911, s.v. "Baluster". The confusion may be between quoted text and ideas that are given cited sources. A comparison between the above and the expanded, edited and corrected modern version shows that the phrases in red, given modern citations, are retained in the present article. Just so you know. --Wetman (talk) 02:27, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

message: It appears that an anonymous editor is determined to add content regarding the "erroneous" use of the word bannister to this article.

I have removed the incorrect quotation and will leave it to the editor who originally added it (or someone else who can find appropriate references) to properly source it if re-added.

Maybe the article could be renamed to Attic (facade). The space inside the roof and that part of the facade both have somehow to do with the roof, but are not the same thing, so it doesn´t fit into the article Attic.
