That was the intention. But many mappers are mapping the function of the 
building, not the appearance/architecture.

e.g. building=parking, office, commercial, apartments, ... all 
functional rather than architecture.
The appearance of these vary widely so mappers tend to identify the use 
rather than the appearance.

Just like some map tree areas as landuse=forest with little regard to 
the human use of the land.
