You may have heard of Seaside before since part of The Truman Show movie was filmed there, starring Jim Carey. We came across this interesting piece of architecture. It was a spiral staircase headed to nowhere. I immediately was like "hmmmm, is this form follows function or function follows form?" I assume you can see the ocean when you reach the top.
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.
In the context of design professions form follows function intuitively seems like good sense, but on closer examination it becomes problematic and open to interpretation. Linking the relationship between the form of an object and its intended purpose is not always by itself a complete design solution. Defining the precise meaning(s) of the phrase 'form follows function' opens a discussion of design integrity that remains an important, lively debate."
