    It Functions in various forms
  

*by V***T on Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2011*

What else to say but a big WOW.. This book is actually what i really need it.Concerning the fact that i was interested in origami(tell you the truth i am a bit of an addict), but since i intend to be agraduate architect, i was searching something that will transcend the function of origami as an "art made of paper" andsearching for a new form in architecture.So, by and large, this book has its basics in what i needed.. I recommend it to anyone who searches how to learn the "liberty" of melding forms and applying its functionality in everyday life.

    against all Odds
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2011*

about the book: it was a little dissapointing, many pictures but weak theory. still you have to meditate for a while on many aspects after come to some practical use. but it's useful. it's not a book for begginers.I think with all the graphics you can easily feed your imagination.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Not bad, "The Function of Ornament" is better IMO
  

*by J***L on Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2010*

This is one of Moussavi's "The Function of ..." books, which are great books for students.  I would personally recommend the "Ornament" installment.  This book explains many (many) different structural solutions that mostly include arches and vaults and the almost infinite variations of them.  Still a good book, maybe even a better book for engineers looking to get a broad overview than architects, but still a good book to have.
