Whether you can make reproductions of buildings and public interiors is known as "freedom of panorama". Wikimedia Commons has a comprehensive list by country [1].

It’s frustrating to see that the US added architectural copyrights in 1990. There’s an explicit exemption for photographs, but not models.
What problem did this actually solve? If there is one, we managed to live with it for the prior two centuries.
