Architecture edit
I removed the picture of the National Assembly Building, Bangladesh from the article. It is certainly a significant building, but the generic article on architecture can only hold so many examples. Hundreds of buildings that are just as important as that building have been omitted, simply because there is not enough room.
Since you have an interest in architecture, I suggest that you go back to the page Architecture, and look at it. Try to see it with the eye of an architect or a designer. Look at the way the page appeared, before and after your edit.
The article is visited by over 3,000 people a day, and needs to look good at all times. This is much more the case than if it was an article that did not focus on design. Once an image has been added that jostles other images and breaks through a major heading into the next section (where it is irrelevant) then you have poor design.
from the point of content let me say that while Kahn's building is indeed significant, it did not challenge architectural sensibilities in the way that the Sydney Opera House did. The Sydney Opera House drew the eyes and the comments of the entire world, and the world still comes to see it. You only have to glance at it to see why it is the 20th-century's Taj Mahal, or Parthenon. It represents the absolute pinnacle of 20th-century architectural innovation.
What applies here is a general rule. Look, read, and think before you add a picture, because images take up space and give emphasis. If the picture displaces something more significant or relevant, then it is an inappropriate addition. If the image plainly doesn't fit, then it is an inappropriate addition. If it doesn't illustrate or complement the text right next to it, then it is an inappropriate addition. In a generic article like this one, it is about getting the balance right and maintaining it.
