Another idea, which I was implementing on my large station project when
i packed it away <sniff> is to use technic pin/bricks to hold building
sections together. While this wiggles when the surface abutting is small
(c.f. Deep Freeze Defender and the current Tie Fighter) it is very solid
if the surface is large. 3 pins (such as on the 2x2 with technic pin
brick) across a 20 stud long by3 brick high subfoundation made a very
very sturdy connection.

1)  Do you build a complete building with four (or more sides) or do you
leave the back open for access and viewing of the interior?

I'm really more into building vehicles than structures, but I've always liked
the idea of using 2x2/1x4 hinges to make a fully enclosed structure that can be
easily opened for interior access. The original yellow lego castle had this
feature, and I'm sure it's been used in many more recent sets.
