In The Function of Form (2009), Moussavi further explores the relationship between the construction of an architectural built form and its aesthetic experience away from the limitations of representation (symbolism), towards repetition and differentiation to nurture multiplicity within culture.
Moussavi revisits the relationship between function and form and proposes that - rather than being considered as the outcome of movements - the history of form contains a continuous thread in which historical ideas have been evolved and transformed to produce novel forms.
