That would be considered a "Duck" building as opposed to a "Decorated
Shed". A Duck is a building that is shaped to represent what it
literally
functions as: shoe repair shop - shoe shaped building, hot dog
stand - hot dog
shaped building. Decorated shed is an exterior adorned warehouse
box of a
building. These terms were coined by architect Robert Venturi in
his book
"Learning From Las Vegas" in 1972.
Yes, they are architecture too. To see one:
