	"Charles, Prince of Wales: architectural contributions", an appreciation by Nikos A. Salingaros
		The school became embroiled in the British architectural debate, and was identified as a backward-looking stronghold of conservatism.
		In that context, all architectural theories are a matter of personal preference, and in Orwellian fashion, the one with the strongest political support suppresses all the others.
		If architectural patronage were a truly democratic system, then there would be no debate at all: the Prince's ideas would now be in use all over the world to create a human environment.

	New Construction
		For instance, setback and spacing between buildings may be more important than roof forms or materials since there is more variety of the last two criteria on most streets.
		Setback, spacing, and general massing of the new dwelling are the most important criteria that should relate to the existing historic structures.
		For these guidelines, setback is defined generally as the area between the street and the wall of the building.

		The architectural sacrifices forced upon the design by inflated security concerns and a gluttonous developer are contemptible.
		While the setback issue could still be debated, the fact is that in the rather hyper-terror-sensitive environment we live in now, the likelihood of a car bomb is as likely as a repeat of the 9/11 attacks.
		Rather than welcoming the next generation of architectural masterpieces with open arms, the architecturally ignorant are trying to intrude where they don't belong, trying to, in their minds, improve upon the masters.

	RTC#01-406 Attachment A
		Although the existing architecture is simple, the proposal includes elements that add interest to the structure through window placement, the covered front porch and the change in wall plane between the first and second stories on the front of the structure.
		The front setback slightly exceeds the average front setback for the structure and meets the existing front setback at that location, while the rear setback matches that of the existing first story.
		Any major site and architectural plan modifications shall be treated as an amendment of the original approval and shall be subject to approval at an Administrative public hearing except that minor changes of the approved plans may be approved at the staff level by the Director of Community Development.

		The first setback occurs on the east side of the tower, at a height that is essentially the same as the cornice line of the Wrigley Building to the east.
		The next setback is on the west side of the tower and relates to both the height of the residential tower to the north and Marina City, to the west.
		Setbacks in the tower's massing provide additional connections to the surrounding context and integrate the tower into the overall composition of its riverfront setting.

	Welcome to the Grosse Ile Golf and Country Club Website
		Officers and pilots from the nearby Grosse Ile Naval Air Station were frequent visitors at the Club during the war and their continued presence in the lounge and dining room helped the Club financially during a period when Club functions were curtailed and membership dwindled.
		The Club suffered a severe setback in 1947, when a fire destroyed a major portion of the clubhouse and all records were destroyed.
		It was determined that the Club needed to renovate its antiquated kitchen, update the dining facility, upgrade the exterior architecture, correct a variety of infrastructure problems and enlarge and resurface the parking lot.

	City of Monash: Neighbourhood Character Study, area B and C (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The area is characterised by the evenly distributed mix of consistently setback post-War single-storey weatherboard and brick houses of a common, functional architectural style.
		The dominant architectural framework is the double-fronted consistently setback, single-storey brick veneer 1950's\1960's dwellings with some weatherboards dispersed throughout the area.
		Architecture, including new buildings and extensions, will, in the majority of cases, be secondary in visual significance to the landscape of the Character Type from the street.

	RTC#01-361 Attachment A
		The existing retail building currently has a front setback of 14 feet, and the reduction of that setback to 12 feet would further deviate from the setback of the adjacent structure and the requirements of the Zoning Code.
		However, the structure currently only has a 14-foot front setback and staff recommends that the depth of the awning be limited to six feet in order to maintain the existing nonconforming setback.
		The proposed use ensures that the general appearance of proposed structures, or the uses to be made of the property to which the application refers, will not impair either the orderly development of, or the existing uses being made of, adjacent properties as the proposed awning, as conditioned, is compatible with the existing buildings on-site.

		Both Deco and Moderne use setbacks to reduce building mass and to emphasize verticality.
		Now before we look at art-deco buildings, we should note that this style is not synonymous with the setback office building.
		This period of design and style did not just affect architecture, but all of the fine and applied arts as well.

		Kahn conceived that there was a need for an architectural conception that would allow the communicating networks to function as peers of each other, rather than requiring that any one become a component of another.
		The critical aspect of the Internet's development is the ability to develop an architecture that asks as little as possible of the collaborating networks and that treats each network as a peer of the other, rather than subordinating any network to any other.
		This architecture, called by Kahn "open architecture", is the critical principle of the Internet.(32) This architecture means that each network wanting to interconnect and to communicate does not have to ask any other network for permission to join.

	Daniel's Manhattan Architecture - Paramount Building
		The American Architect warned in 1924 that given a large avenue site, "and designing according to the letter of the setback law, there would result a commonplace suggestion of one box paced on top of another.
		These boxes may be cubes or higher or lower boxes, but if nothing further is done to them, they will remain, in suggestion, as simply one box on another and they cannot in the mass suggest a unified design."
		While Rapp's twenty-nine story pyramidal mass applied the zoning requirements quite literally, they added some ornamentation -- stubby obelisks atop each of the eight setbacks, a glass sphere at the top, and a huge clock.

	architecture students are like virgins (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The flood of publications during the early 1990s (Sexuality and Space, The Sex of Architecture, Architecture and Feminism) has by now ground to a halt; few schools continue to offer classes on “gender and architecture”; and scholars in their twenties or thirties tend to find other subjects—sustainability, digitalization, and globalization—more compelling.
		Although this lull is undoubtedly considered a setback, one positive by-product may be that it offers a period of relative calm, removed from the heated polemics of an earlier period, to reflect on feminist historical writing and to reexamine its methods and premises.
		Her career necessitated a more complex reading of the ways that gender intersected with Modern architecture than I had originally envisioned and raised several issues about the assumptions underlying many feminist readings of that architecture.
