But he is disappointed with the industry's response to what he argues were two landmark reports into the position of ethnic minorities studying and working in the built environment. "The reports don't seem to have gathered momentum in the industry," he says. "People are not rising to the challenge." An excellent example of Functional art is Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dalí’s lip-shaped red sofa. The sofa is considered a functional sculpture that is made from polyurethane foam, coated with glossy red paint. The lips are inspired by the actress Mae West, who supposedly fascinated Dalí. Dalí painted the actress in 1935. In this painting, titled Mae West’s Face which May be Used as a Surrealist Apartment, Dalí painted the face of Mae West in the form of a furnished apartment, where the lips were sofa, the eyes as framed paintings, and the nose as a fireplace. In both his chair, titled Windy Chair I (Orange and Blue), and in his installation, The British Library, Shonibare uses colorful fabrics that are laden with colonial histories. Shonibare was born in the UK but spent most of his childhood in Lagos, Nigeria. He returned to London to pursue his Master’s in Fine Arts where he started to more intensely investigate post-colonial issues within art.

One of the most important institutions that played a vital role in the development of Functional art was the Bauhaus school. The Bauhaus school was founded in 1919 by German architect Walter Gropius. The vision of the institution was to educate its students in such a way that would blur the line between design and high art. The school had an unusual curriculum and had practicing artists such as Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee as teachers. The mountain of work available isn’t the only thing appealing to British firms. Architects and other consultants are even keener on the enlightened approach to architectural design taken by Health Estates, Northern Ireland’s counterpart of NHS Estates.Sir Nicholas Serota director of Tate Gallery and inaugural member of the Culture Strategy Group for London

He added: “That’s not very sensible so we should be sharing our cases that don’t require case worker intervention and try to get people with completion experience to work with difficult cases earlier in the year.” To provide a Functional art definition, it is useful to first ask “what is functionality?” Functionality is the quality of a product or object that describes its suitability to serve its intended purpose. Functionality thus describes how practical functional objects are.Prasad has certainly brought his fair share of burning issues to the board, with varying degrees of success. He was responsible for bringing "enabling" to CABE. This is a free advice service for public sector clients that he chaired for three years, and hired Joanna Averley, a rising star, to head.

Ceramics and furniture are the most common examples of Functional art as they can be both beautiful and conceptual in design and artistry. To Health Estates, the benefit of performance-related partnering is that it gets the building it wants at the price it agreed. To the contractor, the benefit is that, if it performs well on the first contract, it is offered the second contract and so on. The catch, though, is that Health Estates expects cost savings of 3-5% to be made progressively on each follow-on contract as a result of the contractor’s experience so far. Her work was showcased at the 2019 and 2022 Contemporary Istanbul with Berman Contemporary and her latest solo exhibition, titled Sociogenesis: Resilience under Fire, curated by Els van Mourik, was exhibited in 2020 at Berman Contemporary in Johannesburg. Attewell also exhibited at the main section of the 2022 Investec Cape Town Art Fair. When thinking about Functional or Utilitarian art, it thus refers to an object that both has a practical and aesthetic function.Bridges, an English Heritage commissioner, chair of the EH London advisory committee and a planner, who, CABE is at pains to point out, has wide experience of central government. She has held director-level posts in the ODPM's urban policy unit and has been head of planning and housing at the Government Office for the South-east. Some of the most famous personalities that owned an iteration of the sofa include Christian Dior and Elsa Schiaparelli. Above all, he says, you have to have a mission. He needn't have worried: his successor, planner Joyce Bridges, has already begun her crusade - and she isn't even in the post yet. Portrait by Tom Harford Thompson. The British Library” is thus a conceptual and beautiful art installation, whilst simultaneously being a resource for learning, exchange, and research. Cole is keen on the Grove Well Being Centre in Belfast, designed by Kennedy Fitzgerald and Avanti, as it will combine health and social services with a swimming pool and library

Chrisél Attewell (b. 1994) is a multidisciplinary artist from South Africa. Her work is research-driven and experimental.

When they were still young, the family moved to Austin, Texas, where the two brothers learned the skills of stone carving and construction from their father.
