Which item is covered by the second copyright category for an architectural work?

• A. Drawings, specifications, and other pictorial or graphic representations of the architect's work.
• B. Copyright registration documents.
• C. The site plan and environmental reports.
• D. The building itself.

Answer: (D)

The main idea is that copyright protection for an architectural work includes two forms: the design as it is embodied in the actual building, and the drawings or graphic representations of the design. The second category specifically covers the architectural work itself—the built building. Once the design is fixed in the finished structure, it is a protectable architectural work under copyright law, separate from the drawings, specifications, or other graphics that depict the design. So the building itself is the item that fits the second category. Drawings and specifications are protectable as representations of the design, but they belong to the other form of protection, not the built structure.
