I think leaving it open to interpretation in this way may defeat the purpose of having a perdefined brief in the first place. If you only had control of the building's skin for instance, you could come up with two dramatically different buildings.
I take your earlier point about the level of creativity displayed in the last competition but to me a challenge based on the realistic set of constraints which define our jobs was the biggest thing missing from the competition last year and it would be a welcome addition to rather than a replacement for the other more open challenges.
..and what Scott said much more eloquently earlier!
