You can have form without sacrificing function, certainly, but I am arguing that function is still paramount. A beautiful building without doors is just a sculpture. An ugly building with doors is at least still a functional building.
My problem is that too much of what is influential in architecture and design is focused almost solely on form. Why is Farnsworth House considered a modernist masterpiece when it arguably fails in its function?
