Chris, I have to point it out. There's a small syntactical distinction there  |

Thank you solidred...it's clear he's just taking jabs for the sake of it.
I assume he is smart enough to have recognized the distinction right away. Methinks Chris that you're about to tell me ..." I know you are but what am I?"...next.

Fine, I throw your own words at you, and substitute some of your other words and see if it makes sense.
You said "sustainablity is function" I can then replace the function in your last quote, and replace it with sustainablity
So It would read: Form Follows a Sustainablity
Opinions anyone?
My opinion is to get rid of the "a"
Heck, Using the same logic I could inverse the term and see if that makes sense,
Sustainability Follows Form.
That seams wierd to me for instinctual reaction to typing that, Or saying it outloud to yourself a few times, give it a try.
First logical questions would be. Why? What? When?
Using the same logic I could replace the sustainable with perhaps something I might think is sustainable, like food, but could be argued is not, do to hurricanes and such.
Form Follows Food.
I really do want to see some logic regarding how Sullivan was wrong.
Just curious???

I was really prepared to except a much broader definition of function (than just sustainability) but I would say that is the most important one.
Still this does not mean every building in the world has to be sustainable. All building in the world added together just need to average out to be sustainable.
Maybe Form Follows Sustainability is more appropriate for todays thinking.

| Heck, even Sydney opera house had to start with a basic function of serving as a opera house, then the forms were more aesthetic, they served a function of being visually unique, appealing, elevating the spirit/mind thus making bigger the primary function of the opera house, to lift the mind and soul of the spectators into an elevates "on a high" experience. He got a whiplash of criticism for it, for trying to please the function by elevating it beyond a basic plan of opera, and got punished for it with technical problems and criticism. But many a wit around here are getting the same whiplash when they run against the die hards red necks popular culture politically correct neat and clean tidy ones who would rather follow the flow then have their minds nitpicked, brainstormed and backlashed by some genius out of his mind that upsets their belly and beard into a bond of negligence, to the detriment of the greatest. |

I'm seeing a pattern here with the bold CapitolLetter people.

| Quote: | | If you’re one of many who identify “green” buildings as an ecological necessity but as an aesthetic blight, you’re hardly alone. Architect Rebecca Henn, a juror in this year’s American Institute of Architecture competition for top environmental designs, noted, “The big box store that could have been an exemplar of sustainability was, frankly, really ugly…. If we don’t hold beauty and sustainability as equal cultural commitments, then we might as well hand over our licenses and call ourselves aesthetic consultants.” |
