Talk:Functionalism (architecture)

How to you relate functionalism, as a design method, to the needs of the public and the site?

Denmark
I think it is necessary to remove the section Danish functionalism and do a separated article. What`s the point in talking only about Denmark if there is functionalism movements in Sweden, Germany, for example. Fabiumas (talk) 12:37, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

 * This thread is some years old, but I have added text about "Nordic funkis" recently. This explains how functionalist architecture differs and how it relates to the broader movement of functionalism. The Nordic functionalist style features prominently throughout Scandinavia, including Finland and is worthy of its own section. It also had important implications for Scandinavian design as we know it today. RhinoMind (talk) 18:26, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Czechoslovakia
If we talk about the Czechoslovak functionalist architecture, then we should certainly mention Villa Tugendhat. Yes, Mies van der Rohe was not Czech or Slovak, but this design was very much part of the whole Czechoslovak architecture scene (especially in Brno). Ceplm (talk) 11:16, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi. The best way forward would be to collect a series of proper sources and books on functionalist architecture in Czechoslovakia. This would also fill in gaps in other areas in a more coherent way and not just add the one example that you mention. RhinoMind (talk) 18:22, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
