If you have to ask, the answer is none. That price is just nowhere near high enough, most decent videography/portrait sets I recommend start at double that price! (lighting+camera+tripod)
Any DSLR can take photos of building and portraits, it's the lenses and lighting that make those photos possible, and it's the skill of the photographer that makes them good. If you are interested in actually learning photography, your only real option is http
/www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1238183-REG/canon_1159c003_eos_rebel_t6_dslr.html plus http/www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1143786-REG/canon_0570c002_ef_50mm_f_1_8_stm.html plus memory cards plus tripod (video) plus lighting rig
If you aren't prepared to learn photography, get yourself a large sensor point and shoot like http/www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1188053-REG/canon_0511c001_powershot_g9x_digital_camera.html and call it a day

The cheapest SLRs start at around £270 for the body only. You'll then need a lens for portraiture (35mm, 50mm or 85mm) and a lens for architecture (wide angle or telephoto). It's possible to get an entry-level camera with a 50mm and telephoto lens close to your budget, but the telephoto lens is going to be cheap and nasty.
It's impossible for us to make a recommendation as how a camera feels and handles is a hugely important factor. The best thing to do is go out and try some for yourself.
Another consideration is that when you buy a camera you're also buying into a system of lenses and accessories. If you build up a collection of Nikon gear it's extremely expensive to switch to another brand.
The trouble with the video aspect is that cameras sold in the EU are limited to 30 minutes of footage. It doesn't matter if you have a huge memory card or that the camera can keep itself cool, 30 minutes is all you get.

Essentially you jut asked for a budget compact car with the space of an SUV, look of a sedan and the speed of a Ferrari. It's a strange, basically impossible to find combo in the camera world. I get it, you don't realize how little your money will get you until you start looking around! Used I think is your best option, but you won't be able to go back too far before you are into camera that are just too old.
Nikon D3200 or Canon T3i would be the route I would go. Used. Get a 50mm lens to put on there for portraits, (it becomes a 75mm on those APS-C sensor bodies), then get an 18-55mm kit lens to use for buildings. the 50mm will look great in interviews, with nice shallow depth of field. The kit lens, though not great optically will get you a wide enough angle and will actually be 55mm, because it is a lens designed for APS-C sized sensors. I think in this price range you might want to go the canon route, their entry level 50mm F/1.8 is a lot cheaper. And I mean a lot, almost $100.
