Fallingwater by Frank Lloyd Wright

Imperial War Museum North by Daniel Libeskind

Debating chamber of the Scottish Parliament Building by Enric Miralles and Benedetta Tagliabue

Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral by Sir Frederick Gibberd

Harold C. Bradley House, by Louis Sullivan, Madison, Wisconsin

You employ stone, wood and concrete, and with these materials you build houses and palaces: that is construction. Ingenuity is at work. But suddenly you touch my heart, you do me good. I am happy and I say: "This is beautiful. That is Architecture. Art enters in…" Le Corbusier, Vers une architecture, 1923

Hello! Are you interested in architecture? Do you think it is important to impart knowledge about architecture? Then we would like to invite you to help us in this Project!

An important note for everyone to remember: This project develops ideas about how we might organise data in articles about architecture. These are only suggestions, things to give you focus and to get you going, and you shouldn't feel obligated in the least to follow them. But if you don't know what to write or where to begin, following the guidelines below may be helpful. Mainly, we simply invite you to write articles!

Using starter templates

The starter templates listed below can assist you by setting up standard headings and infoboxes in your article. To use them follow this procedure:

  1. Create a blank article having first considered the the information above concerning naming conventions and relevance.
  2. Copy the following text and paste it into the blank article:
    1. {{subst:Architect}} for articles about architects
    2. {{subst:Modern building}} for articles about buildings begun on or after 1900
    3. {{subst:Historic building}} for articles about buildings begun before 1900
  3. Save the article
  4. Edit the article again, and add the text for your article under the headings that are created.

Infoboxes

The starter templates above are embedded with the following infoboxes than can be inserted separately into an article - this is not compulsory - often architecture articles are better first illustrated by other means:
