17th-century architecture X 17th century architecture
Hi Forums,
I wonder how to write this: 17th-century architecture - with a hyphen or not?? I mean "the architecture of the 17th century".
Thanks.

Either way will work. Normally, a hyphen is used in this sort of structure, but the phrase is common enough not to require it. If this is being graded or published, ask your teacher or editor for their preferences.
