So does that mean that a water tower is an antenna?
What about a scaffolding or a tree?
Here are several definitions of a building:
Meaning of ``building''---(1) In this Act, unless the context
otherwise requires, the term ``building'' means any temporary or
permanent movable or immovable structure (including any structure
intended for occupation by people, animals, machinery, or chattels); and
includes any mechanical, electrical, or other system, and any utility
systems, attached to and forming part of the structure whose proper
operation is necessary for compliance with the building code; but does
not include---
(a) Systems owned or operated by a network utility operator for the
purpose of reticulation of other property; or
(b) Cranes
Boilers, Lifts, and Cranes Act 1950, whether or not attached to
any other structure; or
(c) Cablecars, cableways, ski tows, and other similar stand-alone
machinery systems, whether or not incorporated within any other
structure; or
(d) Ships as defined in section 2 (1) of the Shipping and Seaman Act
1952, other than permanently moored houseboats; or
(e) Vehicles and motor vehicles;
or
(f) Containers as defined in section 2 of the Dangerous Goods Act
1974; or

S: (n) building, edifice (a structure that has a roof and walls and stands more or less permanently in one place)
------------------------------------------------------------
In architecture, construction, and real estate development the word building may refer to the following:
1. Any man-made structure used or intended for supporting or sheltering any use or continuous occupancy
To differentiate buildings and other structures that are not intended for continuous human occupancy, the latter are called NONBUILDING STRUCTURES.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Okay, so according to the definitions of a building, a smoke stack would be considered a building....but, because it is not intended for human occupancy, it is classified as a nonbuilding structure.
So...a smoke stack is a STRUCTURE.
