Here is the definition of it from the Wikipedia, "It is a principle that 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."
Form follows function or function follows form?
Form follows function is easy to understand well because from my understanding generally, the subject will be created based from it functionality and it result should fit with its purpose. For example that I can give is a basketball shoe's form doesn't come out just like that if we don't make a research about it's function on how it'll give comfort to it's user, how it can absorb pressure from jumping up and down, and so on. So in other words, function will decide it's form.
Function follows form is basically reverse to the form follows function and the subject or whatever we created must be fit to its function and with its form too. For me, I think it is a hard way because we cannot imagine our final outcome fit with the function as we basically do the easier way as form always follows the product.
In conclusion, I choose Form Follows Function because it is clearly better than the Function Follows Form in a lot of ways.
