I am wondering

if this section of the article:

From Index Architecture:

The chimerical system produces cross-categorical couplings in which the initial systems are inextricably merged, that is, transformed into a system or systems with entirely new identities. Employing a 'chimerical mode,' the studio looked at ways of coupling categorically different systems by identifying and exploiting compatibilities and affinities between them.[2]

is really adding anything useful to the article? i am inclined to remove but, thought that I'd ask you first. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 04:01, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Chimera (architecture) → Grotesque (architecture) – Per Grotesque#In_architecture and a skim of online sources, the terms chimera and grotesque appear to be synonyms (this article was originally just about chimerae, but I added mention of grotesques while cleaning it up). Searching Google Books for sentence fragments, grotesque seems to be at least twice as common a term as chimera (a vs b) - suggest moving per WP:COMMONNAME.

Well of course there are more references to "grotesque" as grotesque is an adjective to describe that art style characteristic of the Renaissance. Is there any reference on "grotesque" being used interchangeably with "chimera"? I majorly (only) see it used as an adjective and not as a noun in the references. 176.199.209.195 (talk) 17:53, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think

that the image in the gallery labeled "Architectural monument, Bayern." really is a grotesgue. It is a somewhat whimsical sculpture of a monkey reading a book. That it is somewhat unlikely does not in my opinion make it a grotesque and I will remove it unless you convince me not to. Carptrash (talk) 06:43, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New User

Hey! I'm a new editor and wanted to add a section on Renaissance Architecture to this article which I believe will add insight into Grotesque's. I was just wondering if anyone had any opposition to this or didn't think it was relevant. Thanks!
