Building the Design Manifesto (Part 1B) - Form follow Function

Send us Fan MailAnother episode to forge from the previous ones on Building the Design Manifesto, by reflecting on the Louis Sullivan axiom of "Form Follow Function" on the premise of how we currently think about theory affecting practice or vice versa. Some arguments explored to support Sullivan's proposition, especially in this day and age where due to the increase in the aging population, there are current concerns on designing for all users. Looking at building types and what we need to do in our design approaches, at all stages of design. When does that happen (designing in the function comes) in the design process stages of an office design project to be built? When do we look into the function, when we usually design the form first? Just some ideas for us to think about in this series of discussions.The reference of the Guggenheim museum in New York designed by Frank Lloyd Wright ( who worked with Sullivan) is here: https://www.guggenheim.org/teaching-materials/the-architecture-of-the-solomon-r-guggenheim-museum/form-follows-function© 2021 Talk Architecture, Author: Naziaty Mohd YaacobPhoto taken in 2015, at FAUP (Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto), at the end of the year review session in the second year studio.Support the showDo subscribe for premium content and special features which will help to support and sustain Talk Architecture podcast on a more in-depth explanation on design thesis and processes.
