Talk:Applied Thai architecture

Page move
Supanut Arunoprayote, I don't doubt that you're much more familiar than I am with the scholarship on the topic, but I'm not sure the page move was a good idea. You said, "The term 'Applied Thai architecture' has a less formal meaning than 'Modern Thai architecture'," and I don't dispute that in a Thai academic context. But I have to question whether the terms are actually equivalent in English-language usage. From what I've seen, "[M/m]odern Thai architecture" tends to refer to a much broader concept, that concerned with bridging the Thai identity with modern construction, while "[A/a]pplied Thai architecture", as used in this article (following the cited paper by Prof. Vimolsiddhi), usually refers to the specific style that's mostly associate with provincial halls nowadays. I see that the Thai Wikipedia article indeed follows the broader scope, but the current scope of this article is quite different. Maybe they should just be treated as separate topics and de-linked on Wikidata instead? --Paul_012 (talk) 09:52, 30 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Okay, I realize what you mean and how I intended to describe "Applied Thai architecture", but I had never heard this word before, and there is no official word for this style. I also think the altered term "Thai Contemporary Architecture" is more widely used, but I'm not sure wheater it should by used. So I unintentionally changed to "Modern Thai architecture." Sorry for my moving this page. Supanut Arunoprayote (talk) 16:03, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
