War has also been architecture’s muse, as the Futurists or Erich Mendelsohn’s sketches from the front during World War I attest. When nations have tilted toward conflict, moreover, their home fronts have been transformed, and architecture has responded— often self-consciously. How strange that historians of twentieth-century architecture have only in recent years come to study this enduring and enormously fruitful relationship.1 In his book Architecture in Uniform: Designing and Building for the Second World War, Jean-Louis Cohen nods to this tradition in previous generations, writing “there is nothing new about the relationship between architecture and armed conflict,” pointing out that Vitruvius was a military engineer (11). He then exceptionalizes the experience of World War... You do not currently have access to this content.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
