1. Architecture popular with the public.
2. Buildings the forms of which suggest their function, such as a shoe-shaped shoe-shop; also called ‘bizarre’, ‘illegitimate’, ‘programmatic’, or ‘roadside’ architecture. Venturi has included ‘autoscape’ architecture of the large illuminated advertisements common in the USA in the pop-architecture category.
3. Work influenced by popular architecture, or responding to High Tech and Archigram-promoted images.
