Something insignificant or common is transformed into a find or it is named a find. In this particular case a common two floor bus becomes a find. In the process the find is then described as an architectonic piece. What does this mean? We usually think that architecture is identified as a shell that forms a function. We sometimes think that architecture is an administration analogue to the dress's covering: as the dress perfectly suits to a body, the building suits to a function. The body "itself" and its movements are considered to be the function that an architecture is to host. "Simply" form follows function. But which is the function that is followed by which form? How simple is this procedure inherited by modernism? It constructs a relation to the body, a relation to the "normal", "natural", "evident"; and architecture becomes the cover of a given function: the body than seems to be inscribed in the architectonic result in an "obvious" manner.
