A hospital ward, could be anywhere I would think. It is functional too, as long as you know what kind of functions are included or excluded. Is a "sense of beauty" functional? Is a piece of art included in the functions offered by a hospital? A flower perhaps? Small things can make a big difference. Most important is the other thing one cannot see in this picture - the humanity of the hospital staff and the person-to-person contact between nurses, doctors and patients. Whatever the architecture. Fuji X-Pro1 plus Helios 44M-7 wide-open.
' We should learn from the snail it has devised a home that is both exquisite and functional.'

Knippelsbro, an iconic bridge in Copenhagen, connects the city center to Christianshavn over the harbor. Originally built in 1618 and later modernized in 1937, it is known for its distinct green towers and functional bascule design, allowing ships to pass through. Knippelsbro serves as a vital route for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians, offering beautiful views of the surrounding harbor. The bridge is particularly captivating at sunrise, as the soft morning light enhances the green copper towers, creating a picturesque scene that embodies the charm of Copenhagen.
Bradleys Head Lighthouse is a functional lighthouse and is located on the North Shore of Sydney Harbour

Taken for Saturday Self Challenge 19/03/2022 - Decorative .
First thought for this was the upper window in a big posh house , however , Jan did mention railways and they are always good for some embellishment on the older architecture . Here on this station the pillar supports to the station canopy are functional but on the load spreading supports at the top are quite decorative . I first tried a compressed view on platform two but not happy as I clipped the top a bit too tight plus a gutter got in the way from whichever end I took the shot . Platform one one the other hand presented a clear shot of the whole line of pillars with their elaborate top sections .
Also in shot is a passenger waiting on a seat , not sure about how he looks , but then this is the London platform - not a place to look forward to visiting as far as I am concerned .
A sight and sound to calm things down -----
Despite the ugly functional fountain and the sealing, the square is still a centre of attraction for the residents of the neighbourhood near the Collège Jean Moulin.

Trotz des hässlichen Zweckbrunnens und der Versiegelung ist der Platz noch immer ein Anziehungspunkt für die Bewohner des Viertels nahe dem Collège Jean Moulin.
