- Form Follows Function -

The given sanctioned topics for this week is Form Follows Function and Function Follows Form.


According to Wikipedia, form follows function is a principle associated with modern architecture and industrial design in the 20th century. The principle is that the shape of a building or object should be primarily based upon its intended function or purpose.
What I understand is that if certain object or thing has to carry a certain function and purpose, its design must support that particular function and purpose to the fullest level possible.

The definition for function follows form is slightly the same as form follows function's definition. Take a look at this statement : the city of Venice using canals instead of roads. Instead of constructing roads and use them as the main transportation pathways, they used the canals. This is where the principle of function follows form occurs.
