When I think it is more along the lines of what Wikipedia [1] defines as a monument. What I think of as a building designed by famous architects, it is more along the lines of a Frank Gehry building. i.e. The Guggenheim Museum<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guggenheim_Museum_Bilbao> in Bilbao <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilbao>. Can you clarify your proposal to help me better understand. (Pics would be great.) Also, do you mean an actual import? If so, please make sure the list is licensed appropriately for OSM and you discuss on the import mailing list. Which I'm sure you intended to do. 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monument -- Clifford @osm_seattle OpenStreetMap: Maps with a human touch
