Form and function

Form follows function, which means that the shape of a building should be based upon its intended purpose. A lot of architects or designers work with this statement, but if one looks closer it doesn’t always work out. Louis Sullivan made the phrase famous and also called it a “rule” or “law”. Form follows function and ornamental crime are often talked about together. Modernism aloud a buildings shape and looks to be only determined by the function, and no extra ornamental or artistic things to be added.
