Mash up

“Function" didn't mean merely "utility" or "pragmatic use." The architect's task as finding “a way to incorporate and integrate differences, the thing is not to fill the space but to use it sparingly with simple forms, not through compromise or by choosing sides, but by tying conflicting interests into a Gordian knot of new ideas."  That from ever follows function. This is the law. The role of architecture in changing society as making it fit into our wishes. Although, many may argue that minimalism is a cool concept, the truth is that it is more comfortable, based on the "less is more" concept quiet and sober spaces.
