Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lang and Moleski argue here that the model of 'function' and the concept of a 'functional building' that we have inherited from the 20th-century Modernists is limited in scope. They propose a new model, which responds to observations about the inadequacy of current ways of thinking about functionalism in architecture and urban design. Copiously illustrated, the book discusses in detail each function of buildings and urban environments.
