Structural research

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Reads to me like an original research essay to publicise a neologism. The article provides no references to establish that the term "structural research" is widely used to mean "imitation of natural structures in art and engineering", let alone that the term is established as relevant to Antoni Gaudí, Antonio Vivaldi, etc. (Well, there is a similar article on the French Wikipedia, but I don't think that counts.)

 * I was searching something on this matter and found this article. As architect it is well explained.It is not neo or original:it is an established subject teached in universities. i think it is an uptodate rather neo i think we must not delete new immerging subjects but improve them. Leave. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Camwatch (talk • contribs).
 * Comment. People certainly study structure in literature, architecture, etc., but could you please indicate a source which defines "structural research" in the way that this article does: as the artificial imitation of natural structures? EALacey 17:07, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Structural analysis; although the article is rather near to Structuralism, I think thar readers would expect the former.--Ioannes Pragensis 20:12, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. There is a good example in history on designs from natural sources for architecture.It is the Rose window of gothic cathedrals.Even the columns of gothic cathedrals are a research on the structure of trees.The whole gothic cathedral is a forest with light openings.[en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_window] —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Camwatch (talk • contribs).
 * Comment. I don't doubt that some architectural designs have been inspired by nature, but the article is asserting that this kind of inspiration is (a) a field of study in its own right covering all varieties of design, and (b) known as "structural research". Unless (a) can be established from independent sources, the article is original research. Unless (b) can be established, it's about a neologism. EALacey 11:02, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
