(See also Architecture (1990)) What can be said about "Mennonites and architecture" is related mostly to their retaining accustomed architectural patterns and their creative efforts in adjusting them to new environments.

It should be kept in mind, however, that the architectural patterns of the Low Countries and northern Germany have much in common and differ radically from those in South Germany and Switzerland (see illustrations).

The Romantics and their contemporaries created a two-part model for interpreting architecture: buildings were located in the newly created, self-contained historicity of the evolution of architectural form, and simultaneously they were understood to be historically determined and contextually expressive objects.
The new discourse, which sought to separate the materiality of architecture from the idea it represents and to dissolve it into language, was highly theorized in its procedures as concerned both the creation and the apprehension of architecture.

 Fountains in Turkish and Ottoman Architecture   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Fountains were decorative features of both outdoor public spaces like squares, and intimate indoor spaces in private dwellings, and they reflected the architectural taste and styles of their time.
With the beginning of western influences on Ottoman architecture, it became common to build fountains in squares of commercial, social or ceremonial importance, often next to monumental mosques and their complexes, and situated at points where striking vistas of the city were to be obtained.
With the emergence of the monumental meydan fountain in the eighteenth century, the sebil was used as an element which lent a further enrichening element to the design (Ahmed III Fountain at Topkapi Palace, 1728, and Saliha Sultan Fountain 1732).
