All memorials are art, some are architecture.

Not all art is architecture, but all architecture is (arguably) art.

This place is going to choke to death on its own cynicism pretty soon.

I thought this was an interesting thread but didn't have time to write much in my first reply.

This is not an interesting thread at all, otherwise you also would have found the time to write a better first reply. It was D.O.A.

In the course of history, 'art' is born from the same craftsman/artisan roots as architecture. If Architecture is craft, art is also.

Instead of spewing nonsense you might want to read the linked thread, where this topic was debated at length.
