Talk:Seoul City Hall

>>>Curvaceousness?!
"Major keywords for designing the new building are traditions, citizens, future. I analysed low-rise horizontal elements, curvaceousness, and shades of leaves in our traditional architectural characteristics, and I applied these to the design so I can recall comfortable feelings of old things."

So we are told in the article. It seems clear to me, given the reference, that this is a translation from the original Korean, perhaps done by the user. The use of "curvaceousness" is a bit silly, as this word generally describes a woman's feminine curves (and in a few cases, other things that suggest distinctly feminine curves). This is surely a mistranslation. If I'm wrong and it is an official translation from the original Korean, perhaps that should be noted with a "[sic]".

I would also quibble over the use of "keywords". This is a computer term, and I think that "key words", with a space, would be better here.

As for "curvaceousness", I would suggest that "curvilinearity" would be better for architecture and other technical endeavours. Kelisi (talk) 18:49, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
