Book: The Function of Ornament

The days when ornament was considered anathema to any kind of intellectual progress have long disappeared. While fashion, product and interior designers have spent the last decade embracing ornament in all its forms, architecture has been slow to catch up.

The Function of Ornament is a primer for the digital age, with Foreign Office Architects’ Farshid Moussavi demonstrating how the computer is as fine a form generator as any pattern book.
