Examples

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Brontë manipulates readers' expectations through her architextural signals: for example, direct mention of Johnson's work when she shows Helen Burns reading it.”
“Of course, this whole method of measuring architextural merit is pretty suspect. What happens if one of the compilers is agressive^([sic]) and starts unrolling loops? Bigger code, surely; but often faster too. (for example, does the MIPS compiler unroll daxpy? some of svd? others?)”
“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^([sic]) the majic^([sic]) 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.”
“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^([sic]) more than 80K.”
