In a move away from Brutalist architecture that is characterised by a lack of aesthetics, as 'form followed function', Postmodern architecture instead heralded a return to 'wit, ornament and reference' adopting both modern and classic designs. The functional and utilitarian shapes and spaces of the modernist style were replaced by diverse aesthetics, including the use of sculptural forms and ornaments, but does not exclude the needs of those using the building.
