Environmental Design : Form Follows Functions and Functions Follows Form

After searching for some related information about Form Follows Functions and Functions Follow Form, I come to a comprehend  that it might differentiate by depend on what the design is for. Form follow functions is putting the priority to functions perform then just follow the functions to adjust the form. While functions follow form is vice verse that the form is the priority then just think about its functions. 

They are no specific answer for whether it should be form follow functions or functions follow form. But the users nowadays is smarter than before. They no only searching for beautiful design but also an useful design. Users nowadays are more emphasis on both functions and form. And for me, the priority of an design should be more functional than looking good. A beautiful design without any function is regard as poor design even though a functional design without appropriate form is also regard as a poor design. A real designer or a successful designer should be able to take balance of both function and beauty.

Besides this, I personally think that it is depend on the user to decide the design should be form follow functions or functions follow form. As an example, for the customers that prefer a house for a certain purpose and functional or wanting it as a use for office. The architect must build a building that given priority to serve for those functions and then just think about its form. Yet, the form of the design is surely needed to be appropriate to its function. But, for the customers that more care about the design of form for the house, the architect need to have a beautiful and innovative design that suit the customer's preference then just think about its function. It is same goes to web designer and industrial designer also. But, as I say before this, users are getting smarter. They only want the best thing that consist of both functional and beauty. So, the design purpose and user intention is the most important thing to decide whether form follow functions or functions follow form.
