[edit] Renaissance architecture

This article is trying to cover Renaissance architecture as well, which is making the subject unmanageable, especially now that User:Giano has been so effectively discouraged. This article should be discussing the revival of Renaissance modes, with references to quattrocento or cinquecento models confined to Notes, and small thumbnails used only to contrast with Neo-Renaissance examples. --Wetman 03:59, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I've noted your point Wetman and to a certain degree agree with them, the problem is that at the the moment Renaissance architecture is not a very good page, I've spent an hour or so on it this afternoon (daring to move some unsightly templates, expand the text and give ot a more approachable readable (I hope) feel, so that this page can then refer back to it, but I do think that before this page can progress further "Renaissance architecture" has to be vastly improved.
