== == Well, architecture is used in a metonymous way frequently... people might say they are going to the capitol when they are actually talking about going to Washington, D.C. They might say they are going to visit the Eiffel Tower to encompass an entire trip to Paris, or France, or Europe. People often say "I'm going to church" when they mean they are going to attend a worship service. :)
