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 just want you to write articles! Template:ArchitectureCOTM

Feel free to add anything you think might be of interest.
1. Wikipedia currently has no notability policy for buildings - If anyone is interested in formulating such a policy, please contact User talk :Mcginnly.
2. Proposals are underway for the redesign of {{Modernarch}} and {{Regional-arch}}. 
Essentially they have been redesigned to be a full page width wide rather than the current "right hand panel" style which interfered with
image placement in articles. 
Your comments would be very welcome and then we'll need to fix the formatting of all the current articles that hold these templates. 
3. Portal:Architecture/New article announcements has been created to keep us all in touch with any new architecture articles we create, 
please add any you've created recently.

Scope



This WikiProject aims to

  1. To thoroughly explore Architecture, buildings, construction globally and historically.
  2. Improve Architecture, buildings, construction related articles.
  3. To provide a place to discuss common issues on Architecture, buildings, construction related pages.
  4. Organise, discuss and categorise Category:Architecture
  5. To ensure all pages meet the standards of Wikipedia:Cite sources. Non-referenced articles seem unprofessional. See also WikiProject Fact and Reference Check.
  6. Develop standards and templates for Architecture, buildings, construction related articles.
  7. To manage editing of the Architecture WikiPortal
