Function Fosters the Shape

  On Wednesday, the atmosphere between tutors and me was a little fierce. During that time, some students joined to our debate. Actually, in that moment, my mind was a little crazy.The B still stressed the function. She said, function was the first.
  After the course, I had a conversation with my classmates about the relationship between function and shape. Then, Martin  showed his works to us and taught us the process about design, which made me understand somethings clearly.

  There is a sequence between function and shape of buildings. You know, we should take the people's behaviours into our design, such as the flow. Use the bubbles to show function and try different ways to relocate these bubbles. During this process, the shape of the building will appear in our mind(it is magic). Until the building can meet the function, we cannot think about the shape, because the shape will limit our mind. In another word, if we decide the shape first, we will use the "function" to fill the shape. It is difficult, most importantly, it is not scientific and correct.

 Finally, I think, about the buildings, function is important, but is not the first, since the architecture should be diversified, which depends on what designers and users focus on.
