WEEK ONE: DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
"Form follows function - that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union."
Frank Lloyd Wright
Certain spaces are formed to show beauty and by this beauty, the spaces are made based on its intended functions. If the space doesn't function the way it's suppose to, then the form isn't done right. Good design balances form and function together. Everything in a space serves a particular purpose.
My philosophy is as a designer is creating spaces that both create form and function. This philosophy is important to me as a designer because I have to keep the clients needs, wants, and emotions in mind when designing. I express purpose, beauty, and mind in all of my designs.
This photo is a good example of form follows function. This living space is a great place for entertainment, relaxing, having guests over, etc. Having comfy cushions, pillows, an open window, and open space helps show the function of the room.

Our philosophy is very similar. Great job on your blog, although it is kind of hard to read with the blue being so bright. I suggest a darker gray for a background?
ReplyDeleteSasha,
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of mixing form and function. I addressed a similar need for functionality in a space in my own philosophy. With your philosophy the needs of the client are met and the space can be aesthetically pleasing as well. I love the idea of expressing purpose in design. Sometimes it is hard to tell the purpose in designs so I love that element of your philosophy.
