I have sent a series of links to expand the category of things we
can call
architecture. I think most of you will accept that these structures
are
architecture. If a useful definition and/or philosophical notion is
to be
arrived at, then some agreement as to what is included in the set of
architecture must occur.
Architecture for flora and fauna: Zoo architecture, Horticultural
buildings.

Architecture does not just shelter humans.
Architecture can serve destructive purposes as well: Nazi crematoria.
Architecture can be the manipulation of space through markers:
monuments,
obelisks, etc.
Architecture can be the negative space formed by the perimeter of
buildings, columns, walls, water features, earthworks, etc. such as
in plazas.
Architecture can be the plans, models, 3D views that allow us to
conceptualize the work.
Architecture can be furniture/features that is specifically
selected/designed to enhance the overall work. Interior design is a
subset of
Architecture.
Architecture can be art that is specifically selected/designed to
enhance
the overall work. The Sistine Chapel ceiling is one such example.
