FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION THEORY OF INTERIOR DESIGN

FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION 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.

Louis Sullivan’s Phrase "form (ever) follows function" became a battle-cry of Modernist architects after the 1930s. The ideology was taken to imply that decorative elements, which architects call "ornament," were superfluous « زائدة وغير ضرورية » in modern buildings.

Sullivan himself neither thought nor designed along such dogmatic “Rigid” lines during the peak of his career. Indeed, while his buildings could be spare and crisp in their principal masses, he often punctuated their plain surfaces with eruptions of lush Art Nouveau and something like Celtic Revival decorations,

usually cast in iron or terra cotta, and ranging from organic forms like vines and ivy, to more geometric designs, and interlace, inspired by his Irish design heritage.

Probably the most famous example is the writhing green ironwork that covers the entrance canopies of the Carson Pirie Scott department store on South State Street in Chicago.

These ornaments, often executed by the talented younger draftsman in Sullivan's employ, would eventually become Sullivan's trade mark; to students of architecture, they are his instantly-recognizable signature.

A three dimensional model of the sofa is created with a computer program. The model consists of three curved faces which can be virtually unfolded. Next, these faces are manufactured from steel plates with a laser cutting process. The plates are bent and welded together to obtain the final shape of the sofa. All functionalities of the sofa are created from one continuous line.

“Form follows function—that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.”

As a young architect Frank Lloyd Wright worked for Louis Sullivan (1856–1924) in his Chicago- based architecture firm. Sullivan is known for steel-frame constructions, considered some of the earliest skyscrapers. Sullivan’s famous axiom, “form follows function,” became the touchstone for many architects.

This means that the purpose of a building should be the starting point for its design. Frank Lloyd Wright extended the teachings of his mentor by changing the phrase to “form and function are one.”

This principle is thoroughly visible in the plan for the Guggenheim Museum. According to Frank Lloyd Wright’s design, visitors would enter the building, take an elevator to the top and enjoy a continuous art-viewing experience while descending along the spiral ramp.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s design for the Guggenheim has sometimes been criticized for being inhospitable to the art it displays. However, over the past five decades Wright’s design has housed a wide variety of exhibitions, from traditional paintings to motorcycles to site-specific installations by contemporary artists.

According to former Guggenheim Director Tom Krens, “great architecture has this capacity to adapt to changing functional uses without losing one bit of its dignity or one bit of its original intention. And I think that's the great thing about the building at the end of the day”

Up to the very end of his life, Wright carried on a battle to be sure that the Guggenheim embodied his belief in the unity of form and function. On July 15, 1958, less than a year before his death, he wrote a letter that underscored the connection between his design for the Guggenheim and the paintings it would exhibit.

“Yes, it is hard…to understand a struggle for harmony and unity between the painting and the building. No, it is not to subjugate the paintings to the building that I conceived this plan. On the contrary, it was to make the building and the painting a beautiful symphony such as never existed in the world of Art before

The Guggenheim Museum on the Inside

From its very beginnings the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum has been a center for new art and new ideas.

The museum was designed by well-known architect Frank Lloyd Wright to house an innovative collection of works in a unique environment. Today, the museum continues to be a landmark destination that attracts visitors from around the world.

THE LONG AND WINDING RAMP

This curriculum module is designed as a resource for educators to help introduce the unique architecture and history of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum to students. It can be used on its own in the classroom, as preparation for a visit to the museum, or afterward as post- visit lessons.

Although the primary goal of this guide is to introduce the museum’s unique architecture, many of the suggested discussions and activities can be used to explore the history, design, and use of any chosen building.
