Does anyone have an idea what a Funktionskomplement could be? It's just an item in a list and I can't find anything on the Web. Thanks in advance!

functional addition

Not sure, about this, but it looks like a possibility. The windows and facade are being refurbished on the functional addition.

The AMAM addition represents one of Venturi’s first forays into museum design, and was intended to serve as a functional addition to increase gallery and classroom space.

Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : I think it's fairly clear from the context tracked down by Dénia below that it means "addition" (or "extension" in UK English), which may or may not be part of the same building. I wouldn't bother with the "functional".

"Utilitarian extension" also works.

The design of Atelier Kempe Thill takes therefore as starting point the consequent demolishment of the utilitarian extension and the refurbishment of the original neo - baroque spatial concept and façade towards the garden.
