I don't see that any buildings should be excluded from the term architecture, as long as they are done properly.

I am going to be working on bathroom fittings for a company in the USA, and then I thought it was appropriate to simplify the fittings and, thus, lowering the cost.

On the other hand, I don't understand the enthusiasm for everything in the antique shop that Grandma threw out. There, the sense of quality has declined; otherwise Grandma wouldn't have thrown it out.

Clearly, if a building is not functionally and technically in order, then it isn't architecture either, it's just a building.

The primary factor is proportions.

Now, the downside to conservation is that so much is done for the public, which almost always mars the environment that one wanted to conserve.

In a way, the sense of quality has improved, the status symbol of the small things is gone, and it is acceptable to use stainless steel, even if the neighbour uses silver.
