Compact Totally Disconnected Moufang Buildings

Let $Δ$ be a spherical building each of whose irreducible components is infinite, has rank at least 2 and satisfies the Moufang condition. We show that $Δ$ can be given the structure of a topological building that is compact and totally disconnected precisely when $Δ$ is the building at infinity of a locally finite affine building.
