Summarize Argument

The author concludes that the top prize in architecture should go to the best building, not the best architect. She supports this with an analogy, saying that, because they are the results of teamwork, buildings are like movies, not scientific discoveries, and movies compete for awards for best picture.

Describe Method of Reasoning

The author supports her conclusion about how awards should be given in architecture by pointing out how awards are given in film and science. Because architectural achievements involve teamwork and so are more like movies than scientific discoveries, architectural awards should be given for best building, just like movie awards are given for best picture.
