Architecture is emphasized in paintings/drawings of towns, cities, streets, homes, farms, or other structures, perhaps including functional/recreational spaces between buildings.

Artists might choose a particular vantage point on a street, on a farm, or in an industrial area because the buildings/structures are elegant, impressive, quaint, shoddy, decrepit, or simply because they form an interesting composition, providing the artist with a vehicle for aesthetic expression, emphasizing abstract shapes, mark making, distortions, palette exploration, etc.
