Would it perhaps be prudent to merge this article with the article about INTPs? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.32.128.14 ( talk) 18:54, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

I really want to list L Lawliet from Death Note as a notable Architect... I know it wouldn't fly though because he's not a real person, but it would make INTPs all over the world feel so much better. But Albert Einstein's on the list so there's not too much reason to worry. NERVUN ( talk) 12:14, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
Are we sure this is an INTP trait? I'm an INTP and I don't see that in myself (I might not be aware of it, though). What makes me skeptical most about it is that I think it's a Te trait, not Ti. Someone please elaborate on this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Silvantir ( talk • contribs) 03:51, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
The most common architectural trait I have observed is a favorable attitude toward the self, we may be egotistical.

Conscientiousness | Scrupulous, meticulous, |

Remen can be either 4:5 making it the hypotenuse or 3:4 making it the side of a right triangle. If the remen is the hypotenuse of a 3:4:5 triangle then the foot is one side and the quarter another so the proportions are 3:4 quarter to foot, 4:5 foot to remen and 3:5 quarter to Remen. The quarter is 1/4 yard. The foot is 1/3 yard. The remen is
The remen may also be the side of a square whose diagonal is a cubit The proportion of remen to cubit is 4:5
The table below demonstrates a harmonious system of proportion much like the musical scales, with fourths and fifths, and other scales based on geometric divisions, diameters, circumferences, diagonals, powers, and series coordinated with the canons of architectural proportion, Pi, phi and other constants..
In Mesopotamia and Egypt the Remen could be divided into different proportions as a similar triangle with sides as fingers, palms, or hands. The Egyptians thought of the Remen as proportionate to the cubit or mh foot and palm.
They used it as the diagonal of a unit rise or run like a modern framing square. Their related seked gives a slope. Its convenient to think of remen as intermediate to both large and small scale elements.
Even before the Greeks like Solon, Herodotus, Pythagorus, Plato, Ptolomy, Aristotle, Eratosthenes, and the Romans like Vitruvius, there seems to be a concept that all things should be related to one another proportionally.
Its not certain whether the ideas of proportionality begin with studies of the elements of the body as they relate to scaling architecture to the needs of humans, or the divisions of urban planning laying out cities and fields to the needs of surveyors.
In all cultures the canons of proportion are proportional to reproducable standards.
In ancient cultures the standards are divisions of a degree of the earths circumference into mia chillioi, mille passus, and stadia.
Stadia, are used to lay out city blocks, roads, large public buildings and fields
Fields are divided into acres using as their sides, furlongs, perches, cords, rods, fathoms, paces, yards, cubits, and remen which are proportional to miles and stadia
Buildings are divided into feet, hands, palms and fingers, which are also systematized to the sides of agricultural units.
Inside buildings the elements of the architectural design follow the canons of proportion of the the inscription grids based on body measures and the orders of architectural components.
In manufacturing the same unit fraction proportions are systematized to the length and width of boards, cloth and manufactured goods.
The unit fractions used are generally the best sexigesimal factors, three quarters, halves, 3rds, fourths, fifths, sixths, sevenths, eighths, tenths, unidecimals, sixteenths and their inverses used as a doubling system
Greek Remen generally have long, median and short forms with their sides related geometrically as arithmetric or geometric series based on hands and feet.
Roman Remen generally have long, and short forms with their sides related geometrically as arithmetric or geometric series based on fingers palms and feet.
By Roman times the Remen is standardized as the diagonal of a 3:4:5 triangle with one side a palmus and another a pes. The Remen and similar forms of sacred geometry formed the basis of the later system of Roman architectural proportions as described by Vitruvius.
Generally the sexagesimal (base-six) or decimal (base-ten) multiples have Mesopotamian origins while the septenary (base-seven) multiples have Egyptian origins.

For variant, the stadion at Olympia measures 192.3 m. With a widespread use throughout antiquity, there were many variants of a stadion, from as short as 157.5 m up to 222 m, but it is usually stated as 185 m.
The Greek root stadios means 'to have standing'. Stadions are used to measure the sides of fields.
In the time of Herodotus, the standard Attic stadion used for distance measure is 600 pous of 308.4 mm equal to 185 m. so that 600 stadia equal one degree and are combined at 8 to a mia chilioi or thousand which measures the boustredon or path of yoked oxen as a distance of a thousand orguia, taken as one orguia wide which defines an aroura or thousand of land and at 10 agros or chains equal to one nautical mile of 1850 m.
Several centuries later, Marinus and Ptolemy used 500 stadia to a degree, but their stadia were composed of 600 Remen of 370 mm and measured 222 m, so the measuRement of the degree was the same.
The same is also true for Eratosthenes, who used 700 stadia of 157.5 m or 300 Egyptian royal cubits to a degree, and for Aristotle, Posidonius, and Archimedes, whose stadia likewise measured the same degree.
The 1771 Encyclopædia Britannica mentions a measure named acæna which was a rod ten (Greek) feet long used in measuring land. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class= 142.0.102.55 ( talk) 23:05, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
Is a 3-4-5 triangle a ratio? Are the number of terms limited to two, or does that merely define the dimension of the ratio? Are irrational numbers such as Pi and Phi legitimate ratios where they aren't defined by whole numbers but rather the ratio of a circles radius to its circumference. Can anything expressible as a fraction be considered a ratio? How about continuous fractions? Are they ratios? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.0.102.9 ( talk) 16:40, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

For variant, the stadion at Olympia measures 192.3 m. With a widespread use throughout antiquity, there were many variants of a stadion, from as short as 157.5 m up to 222 m, but it is usually stated as 185 m.
The Greek root stadios means 'to have standing'. Stadions are used to measure the sides of fields.
In the time of Herodotus, the standard Attic stadion used for distance measure is 600 pous of 308.4 mm equal to 185 m. so that 600 stadia equal one degree and are combined at 8 to a mia chilioi or thousand which measures the boustredon or path of yoked oxen as a distance of a thousand orguia, taken as one orguia wide which defines an aroura or thousand of land and at 10 agros or chains equal to one nautical mile of 1850 m.
Several centuries later, Marinus and Ptolemy used 500 stadia to a degree, but their stadia were composed of 600 Remen of 370 mm and measured 222 m, so the measuRement of the degree was the same.
The same is also true for Eratosthenes, who used 700 stadia of 157.5 m or 300 Egyptian royal cubits to a degree, and for Aristotle, Posidonius, and Archimedes, whose stadia likewise measured the same degree.
The 1771 Encyclopædia Britannica mentions a measure named acæna which was a rod ten (Greek) feet long used in measuring land. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class= 142.0.102.55 ( talk) 23:05, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
Is a 3-4-5 triangle a ratio? Are the number of terms limited to two, or does that merely define the dimension of the ratio? Are irrational numbers such as Pi and Phi legitimate ratios where they aren't defined by whole numbers but rather the ratio of a circles radius to its circumference. Can anything expressible as a fraction be considered a ratio? How about continuous fractions? Are they ratios? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.0.102.9 ( talk) 16:40, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
