In my mind, if it was built by humans (or other intelligent creatures), it's a structure. Ships were the only ones that seemed to pose a problem, since they move, so maybe they are items, but structure seems more right to me. We could say anything a person can enter is structure, and anything they can't is an item. But then what of the Apparatus? Personally I expect that to be an item. Same with a coffin.

OK, wikipedia says: "An architectural structure is a free-standing, immobile outdoor construction." Seems like a reasonable definition, though it excludes ships, but maybe that's ok. Lets make ships into vehicles and put vehicles in items? Any objections? -- [[User:Gonzoron|Gonzoron]] 15:04, 5 May 2010 (UTC) | |||

We need an operating defintion.
All buildings are structures I would say. Currently, all ships would be structures. Presumably all items (which currently includes ships) would not be structures. All ruins would be structures.Cure 17:18, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
