I agree. Building in "Real Life" is an additional challenge. One could think of
it as "Built Projects" vs. "Project Proposals."
I've seen architecture exhibits where the designs were never expected to be
built -- they were extreme solutions because they weren't limited by "normal"
constraints (such as money, materials, gravity, etc).
If such a deliniation were made, I would wonder if detailed blueprints or
drawings would be eligible for submission. This would be appealing to me, but
seems almost like another contest.
