Description

Explore a fresh perspective on design philosophy with Functionalism Revisited: Architectural Theory and Practice and the Behavioral Sciences. Published by Routledge, this book addresses a significant gap in contemporary architectural writing. It challenges the traditional twentieth-century Modernist model of 'function' and the concept of the 'functional building.' Many current design discussions overlook how the built environment serves human needs beyond simple utility. This text argues that the inherited definition of function is too narrow and lacks a clear connection to modern architectural theory. By examining these limitations, the book offers a deeper look into the diverse purposes that buildings can fulfill. Drawing on Abraham Maslow's theory of human motivations, this work connects architectural practice with the behavioral sciences. It provides a framework for understanding how design can better meet the complex range of human functions. This is an essential resource for students, theorists, and professionals looking to expand their understanding of how architecture interacts with human behavior.
