Tag: function

“Form follows function” is a term coined by the Bauhaus of the 20’s and 30s to describe how a building or object’s appearance (such as a chair) should be dictated by its purpose. Although the Bauhaus philosophy of design has had many successes and some dramatic failures, its application to web design has been more conceptual than applied. In other words, most web authors prefer to design with their creation’s aesthetics in mind and not just it’s function.
