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." NFU deputy president Meurig Raymond said he had taken heart from Mr Grimshaw’s optimism but urged him to set achievable targets.

Though Alberto Giacometti was a famous fine artist, he also dabbled in Functional art, especially when teaming up with his brother, Diego Giacometti. Diego Giacometti deeply supported his brother’s career as an artist and was often seen as his studio assistant to his brother.

In some cases, music can be seen as performing a social function, thus making it Functional art. Think for instance of the music being used for educational purposes. Music is often used at elementary and pre-school levels as a useful tool to stimulate learning. Apart from an educational function, music also serves other social functions and cultural functions. The music in such cases is not only beautiful but also serves a purpose, for example providing a sense of united nationality through a national anthem. Music can also be motivating and encouraging, for example when crowds cheer on athletes with anthems and songs. But is music a Functional art? This question does not have a straightforward answer. Whilst some music is purely created for abstract listening, and thus might not be seen as a form of Functional art, other forms might serve an educational, social, or cultural function and can thus be considered Functional art.

One of his Functional artworks takes the shape of a massive chandelier, titled Boomerang. A chandelier is an object associated with opulence, and Weiwei’s chandelier seems to be the ultimate opulence due to its shine and size. Boomerang is made from a staggering 270 000 crystal pieces that are illuminated with LED lamps.James commissioned Dalí to create the red lip sofa as a Functional art piece for his living room, based on the Mae West painting. The sofa is currently housed in Rotterdam in the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, whilst another version of the sofa is kept in the Dalí Theatre and Museum in Spain.

Sony Studios in Los Angeles approached the brothers in September of 2010 to do work for them on a small Johnston Marklee project, and as a result, the brand “The Haas Brothers” was born. Since this project, their brand has grown tremendously and has become synonymous with quirky and experimental works, including playful functional sculpture, fine art, fashion, and set design for film and print media.While previous RPA chiefs had pledged change, he felt confident Mr Grimshaw would work hard to put right the issues that had plagued the agency. In a damning description of the way the agency was previously managed, he said he would no longer allow a situation where “lions are led by donkeys” and promised farmers they would see changes in six months.

Apart from furniture design, the Haas Brothers have also worked on fabric design for Versace and created sets for Lady Gaga’s music videos. The work of the Haas Brothers is blurring the line between art and design as they are also exhibited by blue-chip art galleries and have been taken on by gallerist Marianne Boesky.If we can put farmer frustration towards the RPA behind us, improve cashflows and help farmers, then that’s great,” said Mr Raymond.

Pressure from the Nazi government and financial difficulties forced the school to close in 1933, but its teachings were so influential that it leaves their mark on art to this day. Some would argue that Bridges' appointment epitomises the "new CABE": a body that is less about outspoken characters championing the cause of architecture and more about yes men getting down to the nitty-gritty of delivering on the ground. The Giacometti version of the lamp was first designed in 1936 by Alberto Giacometti for Jean Michel Frank. Alberto Giacometti designed the original version in plaster, and he is quoted to have loved the plaster mediumfor its fragility and tactility. Diego Giacometti later, in 1983, cast the same lamp in resin.Typically, art is collected, displayed, or stored carefully. Functional art, which not only serves a decorative purpose but also has practical uses, is just as collectible and can be as valuable as any other art form. More and more galleries are displaying functional objects in their exhibitions, and they too are avidly procured by collectors. A rich British art patron, Edward James, who was a collector of Surrealist art, was enchanted by this painting. Shonibare embraced public engagement with the work and explained that the work is intended to provoke reflection and debate. The seating area created as part of the installation creates a physical space that invites this kind of interaction where discussions around identity, belonging, history, culture, and refuge are encouraged. The installation is thus more than art and can be seen as an artwork that serves a cultural function of learning and exchange, within a physical place and beyond. When buying art on a budget, take time to find the artist’s story it could be worth more than the artwork,” says Lara Sanan of Art Gazette.
