[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 2128464, member: 5170"]Even Louis Sullivan didn't come close to living the ideal "form ever follows function." You HAVE met his ornament on the Carson Pirie Scott Department store, right? Pure function, like pure communism, is something that is never quite attained, and the closer one gets to it the more humorless, austere and joyless life becomes. Function is important, but it's just one factor. Ornament, craftsmanship, materials, oh yeah! Delight for delight's sake![/QUOTE]
