Grr, I have a concern about #15 -- fountain vs. CAC. How can a fountain, which is essentially a decorative object, be pitted against a museum, which is a multi-purpose structure of some complexity? It doesn't seem entirely fair, and I'm not sure that the fountain is really even architecture. I think I would call it a sculpture instead.
Well for this I classify it as a structure, much like the Reobling Bridge which is also not a building. And I thought I indicated "structure" and not "building". And another thought, can a building be sculpture?
Anyway, I'll take your suggestion under consideration for next year. :)
I don't mean to give you a hard time about this, but a bridge seems more like a building in that there's a ton of function embedded in its appearance. The fountain doesn't do anything that approaches what a bridge or building has to be able to accomplish. But, you said "structure," which is apt for all three types [but then could include all sorts of structure-types that you don't include].
