What is perceived repetition in architecture?

People saying "please add term"[edit]

If you think something belongs to the list, add it. That's what Wikipedia is about. If you don't know what it means, take 2 seconds to look it up in a dictionary (or dictionary.com) first. -- 12.116.162.162 22:16, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

request[edit]

please add 'portico'. i don't know exactly what it is, but it's mentioned repeatedly in The Fountainhead. ... aa:talk 19:14, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Move[edit]

This article should be at Glossary of architectural terms, or Glossary of architecture, or at least Architectural glossary. Can someone with a bot move this and fix all the redirects? — BRIAN0918 • 2006-08-20 20:16

I'd be happy with any of those suggestions - which is the most commonly used for glossaries in wikipedia?--Mcginnly | Natter 13:27, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Wiktionary[edit]

This page has been proposed as a test of whether the page should/could be better maintained in Wiktionary. Please see the copy being developed at wikt:Appendix:Architectural glossary. Rossami (talk) 20:41, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Missing entries?[edit]

Shouldn't pendentives and corbels be on the list? 4 nov 2006, 11:18 UTC

Shouldn't Order also include Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, and so on; instead of simply each of a series of mouldings, etc.

Nuttyskin (talk) 12:36, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

yes, done. Johnbod (talk) 13:22, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

just a minor point - the term 'bressumer' is out of alphabetical order. 86.151.205.244 19:58, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

chapelet[edit]

Searches for this term keep directing to this page although the term is not on it -- not even close. ??? 4.249.3.92 (talk) 17:55, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Distinction between architecture and building terms[edit]

It is difficult to separate architecture and building. I find most of the terms here to be building terms. The history of architecture page makes the following distinction: "This article describes the history of building types and styles—what things were built. See History of construction for the history of construction tools and techniques—how things were built." Perhaps this page name should include "and Building". I placed this gloss in Category:Construction terminology to help people looking at that page to know about this page but I do not know how to link this page to the Category:Construction terminology which acts as a glossary of sorts.

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Glossary of architecture. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20081012052215/http://en.allexperts.com/q/Architecture-2369/heifunon.htm to http://en.allexperts.com/q/Architecture-2369/heifunon.htm

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 18 January 2022).

eave return, boxed gable return, cornice return[edit]

This is not covered in the glossary as far as I can tell. This comes up often in descriptions of historic houses; I currently would like to link to a definition from the John Black House article. Is there a definition somewhere? --Doncram (talk) 18:19, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I started a stub at Eave return, with several redirects from alternative names. Help needed to develop! --Doncram (talk) 23:56, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fractable[edit]

Could someone add a definition for "fractable"? I'm not quite sure I'd get the wording right. --Paul_012 (talk) 09:52, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Flashcards link[edit]

We wanted to learn all these terms in a flashcard format so we built one and made it freely available. Thought it would be helpful for anyone who wanted to learn the content of this glossary in a flashcard format like Anki to also be able to discover that they exist and have access to it from the source.

Was going to suggest it to be added in an external links section like the following but as it is linking to our own site, following the instructions of the Wikipedia guidelines, thought it would be best to leave this in the talk page for other contributors to see if it would be relevant or see if there was a better place/format to put it
