Contrasting shapes:

If i was to base my project around shapes of contrasting architecture it could fit in to all of my catergories as I could look at buildings, street furniture, (materials would fit in to these), Modern cities, small villages etc. It could be useful to pick certain shapes from certain buildings which contrast and see if the chosen shapes still contrast as it is only a certain part from something.
