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 below guidelines may be helpful. Mainly, we simply invite you to write articles!

[edit] Collaboration of the month

March 2007
Castle Recently just missed out on WP:ACID, rated "start" and "top priority" for this project. Needs a more global perspective. ::Supergolden:: 11:23, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Support - I agree, and the nomination fell only one vote short. In the first week of February, just after the nomination, I made some significant improvements to the structure, pictures and sources, as well as adding material on castles in Japan and New France. However, I still feel the article stands as start class per my initial comments, because it needs many more sources and a lot of work (particularly from "stone castles" onwards). It is not quite global either, because Russian castles, which adapted to gunpowder better than European castles, need to be mentioned. --Grimhelm 18:42, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong support This should be one of WP core articles - I suggest we put it on the improvement drive immediately rather than the more obscure Arcology. --Mcginnly | Natter 19:30, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Arcology

I think this article could use some improvement, there is more content about it in Popular media than the base of the article, which can't be enough to categorize it as an architectural article --Hand of Bjesomar 09:30, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
