When is joli rather than beau the right word to use?

I was taught that a bâtiment is 'joli' not 'beau'. Is there a reason or rule that explains which adjective to use for different things?

Usage of "en tant que"

"Oui, je suis americain d'origine, mais en tant que vampire je n'ai pas de pays."

Could you discuss the usage of "en tant que" please? Is there a lesson related to this subject? From the context it is easy to discern the meaning, but I would like to learn more about the correct usage of this phrase and any other related phrases.
