Option 1

 * Article title Dubai Frame
 * Article Evaluation - The Lead section of this article is clear and provides useful information. It loosely references the rest of the article, but some of these key points in the Lead are not further described in the rest of the article. This shows a lack of balance. There is a lot of information about the selection competition, but the article itself however is lacking in useful information about the architect. There is also little information on the actual architecture of the building in comparison with the information on the controversies this structure caused. My additions to this article would be a sub-Header with information on the architect and clarifying on some of the already included information

Option 2

 * Article title Dancing House

Article Evaluation - This article is full of useful information, but it feels unclear and unbalanced. The lead section gives a very nice general statement about the building, but does not summarize the information you would find in the article. There is heavy emphasis put onto the origin and structure of this building, but minimal architect information. I would have expected more on the architect due to the information included in the leading section. The Interior and structure contain a decent amount of information, as do the awards and Criticism, but I think these sections can be condensed into one section for clarity.

My contributions to this article would be additional architect information and restructuring of the article.

Option 3

 * Article title Star Apartments

Article Evaluation - The lead of this article is very bland compared to the rest of the information provided. The article is well organized, and covers a variety of topics. Unfortunately, none of these topics are referenced in the lead. If the page was clicked on, someone may assume that they are not on the correct page due to the lack of information in the lead. There are also a few grammatical errors that could be adjusted

My contributions to this page would be a clearer leading statement and additional information and editing of the provided facts.

Option 4

 * Article title Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art

Article Evaluation - This article leads off with a lot of links and blunt information. It is hard to read and could be organized and made much clearer. It includes a table of contents, which I do find quite useful. The architecture of the building is mentioned, but there is nothing about the interior or original design for the building itself. There is no information on who designed the building, (other than his name) but lots on the employees and critics of the building.


 * My additions to this page would be interior structure and architect information.

Option 5

 * Article title Habitat 67

Article Evaluation - I do think this is a very well built article. It includes many sources, references, and a few very intriguing photographs. I think it could be improved by adding additional information to some of the facts included. There are some very short sentences without further clarification, and that gives a feeling of missing information.


 * My contributions to this page would be a cleanup of excessive information and inclusion of more relevant facts
