Talk:Khmer architecture

Untitled
This page fails to distinguish between the Khmer/Angkor architecture of the old Angkor temples and the more generally buddhist 'Khmer' style of the pre-modernist palaces and temples currently used in Cambodia such as the silver pagoda in Phnom Penh. Despite showing a picture of the Moonlight Pavilion, captioned 'Khmer style architecture', there is no effort by the article to explain Khmer architecture past the 15th century.

--- Hello, discussing from French Wikipedia:

Well, an interesting, clear and efficient article! Should you are interesting, pay a visit to: French wikipédia article on khmer architecture in early works.

I think the name of this article is not well choosen. A better name would be "Khmer Architecture" as there are other architectures in Cambodia and Khmer temples that were also built in present-day Thailand, Laos and probably Vietnam.

i agree it's not a good name because this article is just on ancient khmer architecture in it's hindu temples

some kind of blueprints would be great, could anyone please add some if you know any?(82.131.117.215 18:32, 29 March 2007 (UTC))

The name should be changed as "Architecture of Cambodia" would encompass the entire period from the founding of the kingdom up until present. Under the current name, Vann Molyvann's 1960's architecture would technically fall under this. LionheartPnshmnt (talk) 23:57, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Lozere, I've corrected your link and really appreciated that work, in spite of my poor French, though I find it somehow "dispersive" Riccardo.fabris (talk)

Naming
As several people have noted, the content in this article is about Cambodian temple architecture, not Cambodian architecture generally. Moving the existing content to a new article would be fine provided all the links to this page are updated (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Architecture_of_Cambodia ).

Removed this from another article.
Some well-meaning editor had put this list into the generic article called History of architecture. That article deals with the entire history of architecture throughout the world and really does not have room for fourtten styles from one relatively short period in just one country!
