thanks for getting back to me edit

both at the architecture project page and at my user page. I will change the page name on the Maya Revival Style shortly, but am really here to talk about the photo commons idea. I don't really know anything about it. I've posted hundreds [or so it sometimes seems] of pictures over the years but always by just hitting the Upload File button and then linking it to a particular article. So what is this other process? I'm one of those folks who just work on articles and have a very vague understanding of the various projects and other relationships that go on around here.

Pictures edit

I took tons of picture of the class of 1959 chapel today (we were looking to kill some time while waiting for dinner and schlepping my parents over there seemed like a good activity.) Unfortunately, its really rainy, and while the patina on the outside of the building actually looks kind of cool in the rain, I was unable to get any rainbow pics of the inside. However, I think I'll build the article this weekend and use the ones I have as placeholders -- I can get more. I wanted to go grab a carpenter center pic, but the rain made that impractical. However, I can get it sometime on my way to class. If you or any of the other architecture folks have specific boston area buildings you'd like pictures of, it would be a fun way for me to spend a saturday -- I don't get around my city enough, I think. Hope your thanksgiving was lovely! Dina 01:23, 24 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Okay, still needs work though, but I like all the pictures -- do you think there's too many? I thought that for an article about a work of art, more pictures might fly. The Class of 1959 Chapel. Dina 03:11, 24 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
I was sort of going to put it off until today but then I figured I had better at least write a draft while the building was fresh in my mind. Then I got all artsily destracted playing with using different images and screwing around with the sizing and placement of them. I will definitely expand it though, but I need to do some research first. What are you translating? Articles from russian? I think the best "DYK" fact would be something about the clock unfortunately I can neither figure nor find out how the damn thing works (no mechanism is visible.) And I assume I actually have to "know" the fact...Dina 13:50, 24 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
I was pretty sure that pic on commons was too good to be true. The thing is, I have access to some of the invertebrate models through work, but I just had a rather long class lecture on copyright issues relating to photos of museum objects and I suspect that if I asked if I could license such a photo as copyleft the answer would probably be no. And I want pics of the flowers anyway. But maybe I'll just email Harvard and ask, it can't hurt. How the hell are you going to translate that article? I don't remember you mentioning that you spoke Japanese (or "question mark language" in my browser ;)) Dina 23:16, 24 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

yes i agree with you...the routing to seismic analysis works well. good luck with your article. regards. Anlace 15:23, 24 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Userpage revert edit

Thanks for the revert - much appreciated. Best as always, Gwernol 00:40, 26 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hah! edit

I use firefox, like all you leet geeks. Back when I was a lowly artistic MAC user (before I moved in with a geek) you'll be interested to know that I found it much easier to set up my mac for foreign scripts (particularly russian in my case). With PC's its all question marks and "you need to install blah blah blah". ;) Good luck with your serious weather. We'll be in your position soon enough, though its been mild at the moment. And quitting smoking, well, its just time. Enjoy the snow! Dina 01:42, 28 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Also: can I ask about the strange new face in my talk page elsewhere or should I let it rest? ;) Dina 02:32, 28 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
1)Only enough to holler at me that I must fix something and to be scared of reading the Bob Dylan article (for fear of starting a huge edit war). 2)Schwartz? I was trying to be subtle in case you were. It's interesting to note that the word "hubby" makes me uncomfortable, but perhaps that's the lack of nicotine...Dina 02:53, 28 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
well that's what I meant. You're basically the only person who's talked to me at commons -- and suddenly my talk page history is all "schwartz". I thought perhaps you'd gone into the witness protection program. I'm not scared to read the dylan article -- heis. I showed him some article called something like "artists that have been compared to Bob Dylan" that's an just unverified list of random things like "Sven Svenderson -- the bob dylan of Norway" (I don't know if its still around) and he got very upset. Also, I'm kind of kidding. ;)Dina 11:31, 28 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Translation edit

Hey Calton, when I blocked Swedenborg a few days ago, I gathered from your userpage that you can speak and read Japanese

Oh Good Lord, no: my Japanese would have to work to reach the level of "pathetic". I'm willing to take a look at the translation as a copy editor, and ask someone about any ambiguities, if necessary, though. --Calton | Talk 04:47, 29 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

A quick skim shows nothing obviously out-of-whack (though, stylistically, I would have beefed up the intro -- mention the Tokyo Tower! -- and moved the place of birth down to the 2nd graf). I'll examine in a little more depth later. --Calton | Talk 04:51, 29 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
If you'd like, I can ask someone about the references, but give me a bit of time.
I'll take your advice and try to expand the intro, but expanding will be a little difficult
No, it just means putting more -- and more important -- detail from the article itself at the beginning. The Tokyo Tower thing, for example, should NOT be buried down at the end of paragraph 5. Call it the Modified AP style/inverted pyramid, with the most important stuff front-loaded.
in case you are being honest
Are you kidding? Around here it's a running joke. I was even called upon at a company party -- no kidding -- to demonstrate. Very amusing -- for them. --Calton | Talk 05:24, 29 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Oh yeah, a translation source I often use: http://www.alc.co.jp/

Just enter kanji in that search box, and uses of that kanji in their database pop up. Helps narrow things down.

As for the award, It looks like "2nd Class, Order of the Rising Sun" to me.

Château de Louveciennes edit

Hi! I noticed this article had been waiting for GA quite some time, and a s I'm interested in architecture, had a look. It seems a little under-cited: Could you have a look, perchance? Given it's relatively short, it might not be too hard to push it the last bit of a way. Adam Cuerden talk 16:51, 2 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

The shortness shouldn't be an obstacle, but it would be nice to be a bit better cited, which the shortness should make easier than the 40+ KB articles I've been working on citing from scratch, ye see =) Anyway, tell me when you're done - even if it's failed in the interim, you're allowed to skip to queue and get it checked by the original GA reviewer. I'll have a look at the other architecture article today. Adam Cuerden talk 08:20, 3 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thank you edit

Thankyou DVD. We need more architecture on Wikipedia articles. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 01:07, 4 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hey edit

So I added a pic to Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, but I think I should have taken one from the other side (this is the side I always think of because its the street I walk down most frequently.) It's better than the old one, but not awesome...Dina 01:41, 4 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

I've got to say thanks first, since I asked and then you delivered, but this building should be shown "in the round", and you should show the part on pilotis [2], and where the ramp goes through the building [3], the first two here [4] show this pretty well. On another note, these buildings [5], and [6] also looks pretty interesting. Would like to see more but don't want to sound demanding :-( - your friend DVD+ R/W 03:11, 4 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
I know, I know, I missed the good shot. demanding boy I'll be down there during the day on Friday. It was sort of rainy anyway and not good for photos. Where are those other two? The first one looks familiar. ;) Dina 03:14, 4 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
I would love to get a shot from slightly above and far away -- the first one on the film archive page looks like it must have been taken from a window in a classroom building in Harvard Yard. I could give it a try. Dina 03:17, 4 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
Hm, I think I know where that first one is, across from Radcliffe Yard. And, um, I was going to enter the building and try to take a photo out of the window, smartypants. ;) Dina 04:03, 4 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
Gah, please explain how I'm supposed to make an informed decision in the Arbcom elections without taking the day off?!?! Other than going by the "they reverted vandalism on my userpage once so they must be cool like DVDRW" policy?

Expressionist architecture edit

He DVD, I notice we've both revived editing the Expressionist architecture article, prior to it's impending GA review. I've archived the talk BTW, because most of it was used as a scratch sheet for translations etc. - hope that's ok. I'd like some discussion about the article though if you wouldn't mind, because there's still a few fundamental things that I think we disagreed on at the time and I'd like to us reach some sort of agreement on. I've started a thread at Talk:Expressionist architecture#Taking stock. Cheers --Mcginnly | Natter 16:51, 4 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Dammit - I wrote a long response there and it got lost somehow.....The gist was:- I've crossposted your expressionist reply to the talk page and will respond in due course. The diff is interesting. It's slighlty anti-architect POV pushing but difficult to refute. Egan (1998)[8][9][10] to the best of my knowledge did not slam architects for social deterministic designs - the idea had been discredited already - certainly it was widely discredited by the 1980's with the last real debate rolled into part of Prince Charles's 'Vision of Britian' debate and really by the late 1970's the professions generally accepted that the deck-access social housing programmes had resulted in sink-estates rather than the utopian 'streets in the sky' of the 1950/1960's. The Churchill quote is one I've not heard, but the "science and modernisim in the 20th Century, the issue of Determinism came to the fore" is a little disingenuous - to say it was at the 'fore' is anyway. It wasn't so much modernism, as some of the leftist baggage that modernsim brought with it (with the kind of central planned economy thinking) that brought about determinism. regards --Mcginnly | Natter 18:18, 4 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
See the expressionist talk page for were I'm going with this......--Mcginnly | Natter 02:00, 5 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
:-) I'm trying to say there's at least 3 separate definitions of expressionism, the article's confusing because it doesn't attempt to define them, but just lumps it all together and tries to muddle through. I think it would be clearer if we start with the initial definition of the term (northern european expressionism), describe that and then move on to examine how the term has been broadened by scholars to inlcude other definitions - that include gaudi and then, well, almost any architecture that has a strong emotional content. I've had a stab at rewriting the lead - what do you think? - revert if you like, I meant for us to review the article, now we've had some distance from it. --Mcginnly | Natter 02:15, 5 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
Ever helpful, I looked up determinism and dragged up a few things from memory to add to the article. Think we called it the "megal mood" which worked when we had to do a planning exercise in college, but by the mid-late 60s there was a lot of interest in community involvement etc. Ironically, Chas shot his mouth off about a "carbuncle" which was the result of extensive public consultation, and Poundbury is a classic social deterministic exercise. Maybe he's in favour of it, led by the aristocracy of course. Also added by tuppenceworth to Expressionism: in my experience the term applies to Northern European styles of a brief period between the wars, and it's stretching things to claim that later styles formed part of the movement. The modern movement always had interest in odd shapes, and while Gillespie, Kidd and Coia's churches have something in common with Dutch ideas, they were firmly part of modern architecture. .. dave souza, talk 11:45, 6 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
Hey, thought you were the ones who understood Architectural theory – my interest is in design rather than bullshitting: reminds me of a visiting lecturer, who asked what the current buzzwords were in the pub afterwards. He had a notebook cut to have three sections, so he could write the words in and flip the pages to produce random meaningless phrases like "flexible brutalist parameter" or whatever. If anyone wants more explanation of my gibbering above, just ask. .. dave souza, talk 12:02, 7 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
The only bit I was struggling with was "megal mood" I've never heard it before. My understanding of architectural determinism is where the architect 'imposes' his idea of how people should use a building or space. So designs which limit freedom of choice are deterministic. The other sense is really an extension of this - studies on rats find them happier in more congenial surroundings - so the architect invents or borrows a philosophy of community or society and then imposes it on his schemes (this is more planning orientated) - So, in the UK in the name of slum clearance, tower blocks and deck access dwellings were constructed - the existing social make up of the community which they were to replace was either ignored or supposed to be recreated 'in the sky'. Inevitably, insufficient budgets in post war britain meant that 1. The quality of construction was poor. 2. The kind of corbusian 'roof top' amenities weren't provided 3. Budgets for maintenance were tight. The result was little old ladies trapped on the 10th floor with the urine stained lift broken. So the idea that architecture could solve what were essentially social problems (architectural determinism) was discredited.
There's some british cultural references here too now - Chas=Charles - in this case it's Prince Charles. He sparked an almighty hoo-haa in the late 80's by critising the place of modern architecture in britain, it was all set out in his book "Visions of Britain" which essentially wanted Leon Krier and a few others to return britains architecture to traditional values of scale and cultural context. tuppenceworth=two pence worth=contributed to a debate. cheers--Mcginnly | Natter 14:11, 7 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
Oops, sorry about excessive slang. "Megal mood" was just something we made up: one group project was a planning exercise, and after struggling for a while to make something of the infrastructure and outline layout, we found that the best way to get something that looked presentable was outright megalomania, the planner playing god if you like. More of a warning against prescriptive planning than anything else. Your analysis looks right: the vision probably came from le Corbusier and Gropius, multistorey solutions were favoured because of planning demands for high density and misplaced hopes for the efficiency of industrialised building, as well as because of the modernist mindset. "Comprehensive development" slum clearance suited such schemes, and gave architects a nice big project to make their mark. By the end of the 60s it was evident that tower blocks and large scale deck access schemes had problems, though some schemes like the Byker Wall put a lot of design effort into humanising them. However the subsidy and industrial interests kept these going, and it was something Councils could see as "doing something". The Ronan Point tower block failure ended their popularity, though if enough was spent such schemes could work as well serviced homes for the wealthy. Efforts to work at a traditional scale had been going on in various ways since the 1950s, for example in the New Towns. .. dave souza, talk 16:05, 7 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, the slang was really interesting, but now I understand better. DVD+ R/W 02:28, 8 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

I've drafted an alternative structure for the article - it does admittedly shunt Gaudi down the page considerably, but puts german expressionism to the fore after a definition of the term and the preceding context - Girlfriend is out tomorrow night and I'll write like crazy if you think the structure's ok. What do you think? On another tack, perhaps we should withdraw the GA nomination for now to avoid inconveniencing the reviews? Cheers. --Mcginnly | Natter 00:44, 8 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

National romantic style edit

Hi, regarding [12] Maybe take a look at this image:-

 
Helsinki railway station

There's an marked absence of ornament, a reliance on massing and a stripped out, almost art deco appearance. Also this site explains it's the scandinavian equivalent of Jugenstil - we've got both Art nouveau and Jugenstil in the template as antecedants to modern architecture - I wonder if we should reinclude National Romantic style? --Mcginnly | Natter 12:15, 8 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Expressionist architecture edit

I understand why you would withdraw the nomination, as it languished without anyone looking at it for so long. However, I have briefly looked over the article, consider it to be worthy of at least GA rating, and got a book on artchitecture so that I could try to competently review it when I am done reviewing the Sei Whale article for its FAC. I will have time starting early next week to look at Expressionist architecture. Please let me know if you are interested. I don't have a background in architecture, however I study this era in literature and the arts, and am familiar with many of the architects and their structures. People put a lot of hard work into this article and it should have been reviewed by someone. KP Botany 17:52, 8 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

KP, I'm anxious not to inconvenience you with a review just yet. I have some issues with the article as it stands and would like to resolve them before resubmitting to GA. By all means have a read and if you think it's up to scratch promote it, but certainly before FAC I'd like to resolve my issues.
DVD I really hope I haven't pissed you off with all this, we've collaborated so well in the past I'd hate to think we're now terse - can we just put it down to Pehnt? It just doesn't read coherantly enough for me at the moment, but I feel it has the potential to be one of the best FA's on wikipedia - I'd rather slog it out and make it so, rather than rush it. The new structure page carries a rewritten lead which perhaps gets at a better definition, will you comment? --Mcginnly | Natter 22:49, 8 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Your question on my talk page might already have been answered, but I wanted to get back to you none the less, now that I have some time. Västra hamnen, bo01, etc, are perfectly suitable as articles on English Wikipedia, so if you know Swedish feel free to start them up.
