I don't know that much about it but it's an interesting discipline because it's about usefulness and art all at once.

I'm guessing sometimes if it gets too exciting it either loses functionality or the clients hate it/won't build it. But yeah I think you'd have to walk around in them to judge them.

Yeah, I just look at these photos and think sure, that's a nice looking BNZ building. But is it nicer than the one right next to it in the photo, or is it just a standard office building? Some of the houses just look like a house (without eaves, popular during the leaky home period 😆), some are large developments that just look like any other.

Sorry, I think this stuff is lost on me. Maybe when the winner is announced there will be a nice description of everything and then I'll understand better why it's well architected.
