Definitely deserves an article. A lot can be written about this.

 * Lots of things that can be touched on here--especially representation of architecture in modern works of Asian origin--much like certain Asian art (specifically Japanese), which made the Asian stars of its paintings look much taller and more wide-eyed like Westerners, Western architecture began dominating media. It'd be interesting to see not only the history, but the transition.
 * I'm not sure there is such a thing as "Asian architecture". Israeli buildings are pretty unrelated to Afghani fortifications or temples in Laos. An article should exist, but it will probably be more of a list. – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 20:04, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I concur here. This would be a rather arbitrary classification. "Traditional architectures of Asia" (or something like that) as an overview makes sense, but "asian architecture" gives a misleading idea as if there is something uniform. mikka (t) 21:41, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Seconded. I fail to see anything in common between Buddhist, Hinduist, and Muslim traditions.
 * I agree. What is similar in Turkish and Japanese architecture?  Asia is a huge continent.  Juppiter 21:00, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
