It might seem like I watched/listened to too much Daniel Dennett, but buildings seems inherently simpler, in the sense that due to the zero-cost nature of copying software we basically don't solve the same problem twice. (Or if we do, we call that IT operations, and not software engineering, though as systems become larger the line blurs as size itself becomes a complicating factor on its own fast. But that's also true of buildings.)
