In postmodernism there is often disjointed treatment of form and function. Developers operate universally understood cultural codes, considering the readability of functions and the idea of building a superior value over the shaping of the functional conditions. Exterior decoration of the object is a conscious and a cap on his stylistic neutrality, and the decorated shed building (called decorated shed - an expression venturi).

Modernist duck, which was opposed to the postmodernists often takes the form of essentially random, contrary to conditions created a cultural and recalling other content than intended (for example, some churches are associated rather with the factory). In postmodernism elevation is treated as equivalent to dress in humans. The importance of building a suitable, both the classic and newer symbols (portal, tower, pedestal, lattice, glass), sometimes formed their contrasting statement. Password modernist form follows function (Louis Sullivan), and less is more (Mies) was replaced by slogans form follows fiction and less is bore, which can be easily translated into a form of fiction and follows the less is boring. Focusing on the formal aspects of architecture, however, often leads to severe functional deficiencies.
