Architecture is “Function, Art, or Function and Art”

Abstract The search for Architecture in “Function” or “Art” relations has consistently evolved since the modern and postmodern eras, driven by rapid technological and material advancements. This research examines the relationship between architectural expression and the concept of “Function or Art.” The literature review method was used in this research, which involved taking case studies of buildings. This research found that “Function and Art are manifest simultaneously.” This research aims to guide the design of buildings that utilize Architecture that is “Function”, “Art”, or “Function and Art”, all of which express architectural works in accordance with the desired design idea. The implications of this research are for practitioners and theorists to consider the “Function or Art” of the selected building expressions.
