How often do you use 3 point perpsective for exteriors?

The architects at the firm where I work have an unusual obsession for 2 point perspective. To add to that, they insist on moving the camera in close and taking a wide focal length - which according to them makes the view more dynamic

 

But then, most the 3d views I've seen online all are in 2-point; which IMO makes it instantly recognizable as 3d work and not a photo. Because all the architectural photos I've seen are in 3-point. Haven't actually seen any photos using tilt-shift lenses.

 

So, do you get to use 3-point, or is it mostly just 2-point?

i dont think youve seen alot of architectural photography because you usually only see 2 point when ur looking at photos of buildings, heres some architectural photography http://www.contemporist.com/ you'll have a hard time finding any photographs in 3 point perspective.

We usually stick to 2 point but sometimes there is a noticeable distortion when the lens is particularly wide so a minor adjustment to three point makes it look less distorted. Sometimes the verticals can look like they are bending out but in actual fact they are perfectly straight - this is due to an optical illusion within the image.
