===Improve [[Outline of architecture]]===

The '''[[outline of architecture]]''' is a centralized navigation hub for the subject of architecture.  It is intended to summarize the entire subject of architecture and Wikipedia's coverage of it.  In turn, it is part of [[Portal:Contents/Outlines|Wikipedia's outline system]] which is one of [[Portal:Contents|Wikipedia's contents systems]].

'''''[[Outline of architecture|Please look it over and fill-in missing topics and pictures]].''''' If Wikipedia has an article or article section about those topics, please add links to them.

While browsing the outline, please answer the following questions (and fix the outline as needed):

# What's missing? ''(Among other things: pictures! Showcase the best buildings!)''
# Is the structure of the outline (sections and indents) representative of the subject?
# Does the outline help understand the relationships between the topics presented in the best way possible?

The overall purpose of the outline is to help readers comprehend the subject by showing what belongs to it, and within the subject what belongs to what.

The outline is intended to be a taxonomy of the subject, and also serves as a table of contents and navigation aid to browse Wikipedia's articles (and article sections) about the subject.

It is also a useful tool for this WikiProject to analyze, plan, develop, and revise architectural articles.  It is a hub from which to organize architecture-related topics.

It was built as a "[http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/689/1/ reverse outline]", a [[tree structure|structural model]] of existing work, which in addition to being a summary of the work, can reveal the gaps and other weaknesses for revision purposes.
