[edit] Subcategories proposal

• What would you think of a subcategory Category:Architecture by region with
  • Category:American architecture
  • Category:British architecture
  • Category:Danish architecture
  • Category:Italian architecture
  • Category:Hawaiian architecture

(and others) as subcategories?

• And a subcategory Category:Architectural history with
  • Category:Ancient Greek architecture
  • Category:Ancient Roman architecture
  • Category:Baroque architecture
  • Category:Gothic architecture,
  • Category:Medieval architecture

(and others) as subcategories?

• Where would Category:Islamic architecture go? Pethan 19:15, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

• These are very useful categories. It looks like the parent category is Category:Architecture by nationality.

• Category:Architectural history is a great subcategory (which you've populated). I'll add to these categories in my travels Dogears 04:04, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Subcategories

• Proposal to add articles in Category:Architecture by nationality into the following existing categories:
  • Category:Buildings and structures by city
  • Category:Buildings and structures by country
  • Category:Buildings and structures by continent

[edit] Category:Architecture Table of Contents

Will it be useful to put some of the articles in Cat:Arch into more specific subcategories to clean up the TOC for this Parent Category?

• For example:
  • Banderole, Caryatid, Flashing (weatherproofing), etc. move to architectural elements
• Any article that includes the word "architecture" to be included in Cat:Arch

-- Dogears 15:26, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• • Think we'd need to watch out for 'Chip architecure' (relating to compter design) and all other (mis!)uses of the word architecture. Eg "The architect of his own destruction". We might end up with a load of extraneous pages in the category that way.--Mcginnly | Natter 04:24, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Green building subcategory?

Attention given to Green_building techniques is increasing in a cascading fashion because of concerns about environmental quality and impacts. As these include aspects of solar building perhaps the two could be merged or put together? -- M0llusk 18:15, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
