    it can be ugly or lovely, but that is opinion, but it must remain true to itself in what it is.

    although these cases are indeed beyond reproach in style and ingenius design, they can never be 'Art'

    I highly disagree. There is a guy here in Colorado Springs that is a Welder, who makes 20 foot tall metal sculptures... that are also wind vanes. They have a purpose, other than to just sit there, yet their primary intention is something pleasing to the eye. He also did one sculpture that just looking at it, you would think it was just a giant motorized piece of art, but it is actually two clock hands on a giant spire, with no clock face behind them... it serves the purpose of telling time, yet it is also art.

    There is also the work of Frank Lloyd Wright... I would consider the majority of the buildings he designed to be art, yet they also serve a greater purpose of a place to live/work/whatever. How about ancient Greece ? Were their buildings not art ?
