Form follows Function or Function follows form. Which should be followed? In this twisted world we call Earth, these two phrases can be really flexible in just about anything! 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. To put things in a simple explanation, when you look at an object, for example, your average cellphone, you brain immediately knows what it really does. Another example would be buildings. For instance, when you see a building, you can immediately identify their work ethics.
When in comes to function follows form, it means the function revolves on the form instead of the other way around. For instance, the ipod Shuffle.
This product is a mere cuboid shaped mp3 player but of course we know this. If this product didn't have enough media coverage and promotion, how are we suppose to know the function? There's isn't a button in sight.
In conclusion, both phrase are a strong debate but I prefer Form follows function
