Merge

High-tech design and High-tech architecture both appear to be about the same architectural style. The design article appears to be more of an unsourced essay so I don't know what content can be merged. -- Whpq 15:38, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

I reckon that High-tech design article should not intrude on the content covered in High Tech Architecture. However, former could explore many other aspects of the High Tech aesthetic shuch as interior design. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Azhardesai (talk • contribs)

I agree that the High-tech design article could be about interior design, but the content as it stands right now is not. and in fact, the article is really an essay, so I'm going to just REDIRECT here. If anybody decides to write about high-tech interiror deisgn, they can then replace the redirect. -- Whpq 18:50, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

The article refers extensively to the British origins of High-tech architecture, but draws in many US examples. The British High-tech Movement remained in the ascendency from the 1960s until 1984, when an intervention by HRH Charles Prince of Wales over a competition-winning design for an extension to the National Gallery in London signalled an end to High Tech architecture in the UK. More, from that date, the group of leading so-called British High Tech Architects distanced themselves from the High Tech style in order to endear themselves to sponsors. By such, they would continue to design buildings of national and international significance. In satisfying the demands of conservative clients, planners, conservationists and funding organisations, the essence of High-tech was lost. Examples quoted in the article indicate that High-tech survived - it didn't in the UK. I suggest that the article makes this distinction. Nigel PG Dale (talk) 10:48, 29 April 2021 (UTC). ps I added aluminium as a material important to High-tech, and brought in lightness of weight as an important driver to the style. Lightness of material brought in its own aesthetic. Concrete structural frames have their origins in early modernism and re-emerge in postmodernism. They are not specific to High-tech Nigel PG Dale (talk) 11:02, 29 April 2021 (UTC).

Article Paraphrased from Elsewhere

This article, as acknowledged at the bottom, has been paraphrased from another website. Not only does this make the article poorly put together, but it blatantly brings copyright issues. The article needs a good rewrite. Does everyone agree? --Stonefield 14:13, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

There is a lot of text copied wholesale from somewhere else, and it is not from the link given at the bottom of the page. --Stonefield 14:47, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Merger proposal

The stub Structural Expressionism clearly states that it is another name for High-tech. Therefore, merge that stub into this one. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:48, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
