Hi all, I found a curious site that contains long lists of specialized vocab for various fields.

The first of four pages of the architecture list is here. There is a link at the bottom to advance to the next page.

Great list of architectural vocab.  I found the answer to a question I recently had...how to say rendering.

建筑渲染 jiànzhù xuànrǎn : architectural rendering.

Thanks Sushan!

sushan: Thanks for the contribution.

Calkins: I like what you did with the Olympic Architecture stuff...

I took this list of architectural vocab. and created files to import into PlecoDict and ZDT.  If you'd like to use them, you can download them here:
