Comment there are clearly 117 windows, not 121. dllu (t,c) 22:07, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Looks good to me. How did you get rid of the trees blocking it? dllu (t,c) 04:02, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The article Pattern (architecture) is not an easy read for the initiated, but it sounds like more of a pattern for architecture in a fashion/furniture sense (i.e. repeated across many objects) than pattern in the "repeated unit in the same object" sense. Could someone clarify whether the usage is appropriate there? Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 13:39, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you. That article is talking about a rather different kind of "pattern" -- the kind you might find in a "pattern book" full of design ideas that you can copy and reuse. The picture does not seem relevant to that article. 81.159.109.215 (talk) 19:31, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed it from the architecture article as this is not talking about geometric patterns in architecture. Colin°^Talk 11:43, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The pattern article is full of images all of which could be replaced with any number of others. The regular pattern of windows here is not special or original (most office blocks have regular windows) though the colours here are pleasing and I supported the image at Commons. But this image illustrates only the "structures such as windows can be repeated horizontally and vertically" sentence: one sentence in one paragraph in one section. One could discuss and illustrate lots of different other visual patterns in architecture such as columns, or brickwork, or tiling, and I'm surprised we don't have an article on the subject (the one discussed above is not about visual patterns). So although this is a great picture, I think the EV is very low. Colin°^Talk 11:55, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
