Talk:Timeline of architectural styles

Further splits

We've expanded the timeline so much I beginning to think we should split the table into 100 year periods from the Baroque onwards. - the mdoern list is so long it's quite difficult to read of the years now. --Mcginnly | Natter 18:05, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Other timelines

I think we need to define the "Western" and the other future timelines. 'Western' is rather problematic because of the americas. North and south American architecture is a part of the western tradition generally, but the pre-columbian stuff clearly isn't. So do we have a Timeline of architectural styles (pre-columbian Americas) and then add all of the various developments since then, to the 'western' timeline? I think this is a bit messy.

Another solution might be to rename the timelines and simply divide the globe into the current continents listed in the Architecture of the world. Like this:-

• Timeline of architectural styles (European)
• Timeline of architectural styles (Asian)
• Timeline of architectural styles (North America)
• Timeline of architectural styles (South America)
• Timeline of architectural styles (Oceania)
  

This might work better because one could look at the timeline of the Americas and then see the influence and blending (or not) of post-columbian styles. We can be flexible as to what we include and don't include - especially in the complex interactions between the middle east, europe, north africa and asia. - depending on the consequent influence of each style. --Mcginnly | Natter 13:57, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

• I really like the "fine grid" and scale carrying over from one timeline to the next. Too many styles? - there's not enough, I left out a bunch from the parent article - which I have to add a link back to… Each timeline could be stand alone, and filled with content that gets past all the "western"-centric stuff. Hey, western architecture is what we know, people from around the world are invited to provide the international flavour, comments, etc, etc.
• So recommend keeping this one around as a master list perhaps, to be refined, then create three or more:
• Timeline of architectural styles 1750—Present => 1750—1900 and 1900—Present
• 1000AD—Present
• 6000BC—Present
• And loose the "western" POV by adding the sum total of Architectural style, Category:Architectural styles and sub-categories, Regional architecture, History of Western architecture, Architecture of --- country, etc.
• The timeline per continent, as above, can be interesting - who's that person who is putting together the Japanese style periods? Chinese architecture is also classified by dynastic periods. The great thing that will take form on other possible timelines is the overlap of styles in different parts of the world together on one page. Also want to plot architecturally significant events, like the great fire of london and an earthquake and volcano or two, Krakatoa!. —Dogears (talk · contribs) 16:14, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Mudéjar

I have added Mudéjar architecture. I find technical problems in adding styles to the table: I don´t know how to edit to do what I want. Could anybody change Mudéjar to be over the Normand style? For its length I think it will be more correct. Other problem for me is the conventions about chronology: Do we prefer an exact date or a decade? First Mudéjar construction is said to be San Tirso monastery in Sahagún, started c. 1126. Last constructions in Mudéjar style were done in the beginning of the 17th century, even after the expulsion of Moriscos in 1610, but the Style had lost its popularity a decade before. How can we put this nuances in a table?--Garcilaso 10:22, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Looked fine to me - I put Mudejar above Norman in the code which makes it display above norman in the table - we can't be too precise about dates, arch history unfortunately isn't that precise. --Mcginnly | Natter 10:33, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

defaced

why is this page being so destroyed by random characters through the timeline definition code? i already fixed a case of "MUNTER!" being spread through the code ruining it, and now there are random characters right through the first timeline causing it not to render. does someone really hate the timeline of architectural styles? maybe since architectural history is pretty stable in terms of change, we lock this page after it's fixed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.197.19 (talk) 23:21, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

help

Hi, I just tried to edit the timelines but was not successfull.. could you please add these two styles in the timeline?

at:1925 text:"Rondo Cubism" #1925-1938 Czechoslovakia at:1910 text:"Cubism" #1910-1925 Czechoslovakia

Thanks!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.42.146.216 (talk) 11:15, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Merge discussion

I propose merging the 3 separate lists (Timeline of architectural styles 1900–present, Timeline of architectural styles 1000–present, Timeline of architectural styles 6000 BC–present), that have not been developed much in 6 years, back into this list. Partially to allow centralised watchlisting, development, and discussion; partially to give readers less articles to find and click-through; and partially to prevent content-drift (where one timeline gets updated, but the other doesn't). Thoughts? Thanks. –Quiddity (talk) 16:12, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Agree. Placing 3 tables in one single article is a good idea.--Rochelimit (talk) 17:48, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Art Nouveau and Art Deco

Art Nouveau is not on timeline and Art Deco is, which boggles the mind since Art Nouveau had heavy influence on Art Deco. Also early Art Deco appears before WW1 yet is set on timeline like it appears in late 1920s which is wrong.Also Egyptian revival is actual part of Art Deco, not style on its own (according to timeline provided, there is earlier 19th century egyptian revival which you will get when you search that page on Wiki which will only lead to greater confusion) Article needs urgent correction, chances are those are not only mistakes in this timeline. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.19.108.39 (talk) 19:43, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
