Form Follows Fiasco: Why Modern Architecture Hasn't Worked - by Peter Blake

Architect and critic Peter Blake dismantles modernist architecture's core dogmas, such as "form follows function," open plans, and technological purity, arguing they lead to impractical, dehumanizing urban environments. Through humor, illustrations, and examples like uncomfortable chairs and failed high-rises, Blake calls for designs rooted in human needs, less top-down planning, and a return to humane, functional built spaces.
