New Section Added

Hello Wikipedians,

I have added an important monuments section and included some of the most important examples of byzantine architecture. Please take a minute to look over my edits and feel free to add any additional information or comments and please look over my work. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rylienicolee (talk • contribs) 07:16, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear comparison.

“ Other widely used materials were bricks and stone, not just marble like in Classical antiquity.”

I cannot tell whether the writer means that buildings in Constantinople used materials different from, or the same as, Classical Antiquity.

If different from, maybe rephrase as: “Unlike in Classical Antiquity, Byzantine architecture used brick and stone in addition to marble.”

If the same as, maybe rephrase like this: “As in the architecture of Classical Antiquity, Byzantine architecture used brick and stone in addition to marble.” E A (talk) 13:47, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Placement of Hagia Sophia at bottom?

should H. Irene and Hagia Sophia be incorporated into the main overview of buildings section rather than separate at the bottom? FineCreatures (talk) 16:59, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Eyewitness Companions: Architecture

Appearance of church layout: Masmiyah temple

See Talk:Al-Masmiyah#Was the temple ''modified'' to be used as a church?.

Was that a simply repurposed pagan building that became a model for later church developments? Or was it modified according to an already shaped concept of a church building? Arminden (talk) 14:11, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
