Architecture

ART
Expression
a singular essence/definition of
any form or idea must exist
aspatially and atemporally in
order to attain universal
applicability among its various
representations.
SCIENCE
Measurable
if you are formulating ideas and
concept in mind you should have
something to represent it.

FORM
“a building which declares its
functions openly and yet at the
same time succeeds in conveying
all those attributes which the
use of a façade aimed to do,
would be preferable.”
FUNCTION
architecture is concerned
primarily with function and the
performance of buildings
however this is conceived
(occupationally, economically or
in terms of durability, and so
forth), and some largely with form

FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION

Luis Sullivian

The idea that any particular architectural design—no matter how fitting—is more or less
uniquely dictated by the precise function can be little more than a retrospective and wishful
justification for one’s own design choices.
