A building is a human-made construction designed to shelter people, creatures or objects, that fully encloses an area, with walls and a roof that are connected, and directly on the ground or a human-made foundation, with a reasonable expectation of permanence in location for longer than a season. More than one human must be able to fit inside it with ease, maintaining reasonable personal space. They can be bigger on the inside than the outside. Constructions that are underground without a building on top of them are excluded. If in doubt, if it has a door through which you enter it, it's a building.

Things that are buildings:

houses
office blocks
signal boxes
British telephone boxes
wind turbines and windmills
a triumphal arch
the ticket office to the London Eye

Things that are not buildings:

tents
metro entrances that are not fully enclosed
open bus shelters
the TARDIS (no expectation of remaining in location for longer than a season)
the London Eye (the structures designed to enclose are moving)
model buildings (can't fit a human in them. Minifigs are not human)
