It seems that there is a suggestion emerging here in this topical debate that the material and technical and mechanical and structural and instrumental aspects of a found habitant or a built domicile is irrelevant to such a utility being architecture, and possibly even being artistic. This approach may be so, but for many theorists it may also be too vague and too broad for a useful theory of architecture.
