Don't remember re IM Pei; I think the court case was framed as a trademark dispute. If memory serves, the appeals court said you can't just ban all commercial sales of any picture of a famous building. But it might be possible to protect one or two unique views/pictures from third-party commercial exploitation if they're being consistently used by the building's owner to market what the building offers.
Usual disclaimer: this is not legal advice.
