For instance one of the buildings that won the AIA's top ten in the U.S. was a jewish church. I guess that's wasteful too seeing as though it only serves religion. If something doesn't serve a life necessity...or economic activity does that make it a useless luxery? What if it was a green bowling alley? would it warrant similar comment?
