Renaissance architecture

This article is trying to cover Renaissance architecture as well, which is making the subject unmanageable, especially now that User:Giano has been so effectively discouraged. This article should be discussing the revival of Renaissance modes, with references to quattrocento or cinquecento models confined to Notes, and small thumbnails used only to contrast with Neo-Renaissance examples. --Wetman 03:59, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I've noted your point Wetman and to a certain degree agree with them, the problem is that at the the moment Renaissance architecture is not a very good page, I've spent an hour or so on it this afternoon (daring to move some unsightly templates, expand the text and give ot a more approachable readable (I hope) feel, so that this page can then refer back to it, but I do think that before this page can progress further "Renaissance architecture" has to be vastly improved.

Re: "Gothic Influences on the Renaissance Revival" section

This point of discussion is especially addressed to User:Giano, as he seems to be the most active and vigilant editor of this article, but naturally any and all who are interested in the aforementioned section, or are more well-versed in its subject than I appear to be, should chime in. A day ago, not under my username however, I replaced in its entirety the section of the article meant to elucidate the role played by Gothic architecture in determining the form taken by architecture designated as Renaissance from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and therefore, also, that taken by the revived nineteenth century iteration which is the subject of this article. The brief paragraph, with which I replaced the section, was free of inline citations but as the original was as well, and seemed to consist of observations and analyses which its author thought beyond doubt, readily confirm-able, or common knowledge, I didn't think my replacement required any. The primary assertion of my replacement-paragraph was that while the classicist architecture of the Italian Renaissance, as evidenced by its palazzi, pedimented and domed churches, colonnades, and, among other things, generally symmetrical compositions was as far afield of the Gothic style as the original section claimed, much of the polite architecture beyond the Alps- I'm thinking particularly of England and France- of the 16th century which is called Renaissance- the chateaux of Francois I's reign or the prodigy houses of the Elizabethan period, for example, owe something if not much to pre-Renaissance, medieval aesthetics and modes of building, and that it is in ornament and not massing, construction, or what I would call overall aspect, that these northerly examples exhibit a classicising influence courtesy of Italy. I think the presence of the conical turrets, asymmetrically amassed towers and bartizans, courtyards of which the placement and position is derived from the medieval castle bailey, steeply pitched hip roofs, and occasional single-ply room arrangements so frequently seen in French and English stately residences built in the 16th century clash with the original paragraph's opening statement: "Historically speaking, there were no similarities between Gothic architecture and the succeeding Renaissance architecture." I also intended my paragraph (removed through reversion)- https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Renaissance_Revival_architecture&diff=846356387&oldid=841137015 -to be more clear as well as more accurate- something I think it achieves. I could type on but I'd prefer to wait for responses. Thank you for reading.Mutophilus (talk) 06:44, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
