	architecture. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		As an art, architecture is essentially abstract and nonrepresentational and involves the manipulation of the relationships of spaces, volumes, planes, masses, and voids.
		there were three great developments in architectural construction—the post-and-lintel, or trabeated, system; the arch system, either the cohesive type, employing plastic materials hardening into a homogeneous mass, or the thrust type, in which the loads are received and counterbalanced at definite points; and the modern steel-skeleton system.
		The birth of Renaissance architecture (15th cent.) inaugurated a period of several hundred years in Western architecture during which the multiple and complex buildings of the modern world began to emerge, while at the same time no new and compelling structural conceptions appeared.

		Gordon Drake suffered the mixed blessing of achieving early fame by winning, in 1946, Progressive Architecture's First Annual Award with his very first house and then winning, with his next two buildings, second place in the House and Gardens 1947 Awards in Architecture and a Mention in Progressive Architecture's Second Annual Award.
		His architecture was strongly influenced by Harwell Hamilton Harris who had taught him at the University of Southern California and for whom he had worked before and after the war.
		These techniques were used again at the Robert S Berns House at Malibu, where a variety of terraced spaces combined to form a gentle and progressive entrance sequence, and the glare of the ocean was softened by screens of stretched muslin, burlap and rice paper.

	Globalization, Identity Politics, and Social Conflict
		On March 19, 1946 Guadeloupe, an island located in the Caribbean, changed its status of a French colony to that of a French Overseas Department, after more than three centuries of colonial rule.
		Yet, since 1946, urban growth and population growth have considerably modified those notions of cities, towns and villages; as well as they displaced the focus of cultural discourses.
		Therefore, this paper proposes to analyze architecture as a cultural discourse during the post-colonial period (1946-2003) in the context of two town centres of Guadeloupe, Gosier and Trois-Rivières.

	Handbook of Texas Online: ANTELOPE CREEK PHASE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		General similarities in architecture, subsistence, and artifact assemblages indicate that the Antelope Creek people participated in the Plains Village horizon, which included many bison-hunting and horticultural village societies with similar adaptations resident in the mixed-grass prairies extending from north central Texas to North Dakota.
		The Antelope Creek phase and adjacent Buried City complex (found along Wolf Creek in the northeastern Texas Panhandle) are the two southwesternmost societies of the Plains Village horizon and the only two to reside in contiguous-room, pueblo-like villages and to employ stone masonry routinely in the foundations and walls of their structures.
		The change in architecture from contiguous room structures to one-room buildings may reflect greater periods of seasonal mobility and shorter duration of village occupation.
