Artitecture: a building which is designed more for its appearance than for its actual use.
A lot of 'modern' architecture falls into this category - architects seem to want to make artistic statements rather than decent buildings.
Which reminds me of the architect who hated the Eiffel tower but lunched every day at the restaurant there. When asked why, he replied "It's the only restaurant in Paris without a view of the Eiffel Tower."
