1995, Ruth Robbins, Julian Wolfreys, Victorian Identities, page 210:Dickens's architextures do not present us with a form – of a building, of the city – as a meaning, system or structure. Rather, we are presented with the textual event, the architextural event, as a means of exposing the limits of fixed meaning, and, by this, the limits of the utterable.
2005, Ian Townsend Gault, Heather Nora Nicol, Holding the Line: Borders in a Global World, page 297:In this spirit, the architextural inquiry looks to borders not as simple and pre-existent physicalities but as social representations that enforce a spatial code of proxemics, or distances.
2013, Robert Bennett, Deconstructing Post-WWII New York City, page 17:By exploring this “architextural” interrelationship between the spatial structures of counter-hegemonic urban regions and the textual structures of experimental poetry, “Howl” connects its critical analysis of urban space with its attempt to develop new aesthetic forms.
2019, Nicholas J. Crowe, The Ways of Fiction:Brontë manipulates readers' expectations through her architextural signals: for example, direct mention of Johnson's work when she shows Helen Burns reading it.
- Eggcorn of architectural.
1989 November 4, Preston Briggs, “Unsafe at any speed”, in comp.arch (Usenet), retrieved 2022-06-01:Of course, this whole method of measuring architextural merit is pretty suspect. What happens if one of the compilers is agressive and starts unrolling loops? Bigger code, surely; but often faster too. (for example, does the MIPS compiler unroll daxpy? some of svd? others?)
1995 December 22, Thomas C. Waters, “Most Influencial Artist Ever . . . ?”, in rec.arts.fine (Usenet), retrieved 2022-06-01:Who plays the biggest role.. is always up for grabs. I'd bet the architects involved are VERY willing to say they took only a supporting role!!! Yea right!! Nah.. they're probably bitching about the crazy designs that artists drew that they then needed to make into viable constructions. And stuff life the majic kingdom palace is based upon a real castle which is an architextural building. Many factors influence the creation of anything. To attribute it to one man Disney is silly.
2019 March 20, Sheldon, “OT I am getting OLD! :-(”, in rec.food.cooking (Usenet), retrieved 2022-06-01:That house is no palace, it's actually a period bungalow/arts and crafts style, circa 1920s... and not a very good example... it was a very common architextural style, It would be worth a lot more in a better neighborhood but where it sits on that tiny lot and in its run down condition, it needs serious updating... I'd not pay a nickle more than 80K.
