Functionalismin architecture, is the principle that architects should design a building based on thepurpose of that building.The place of functionalism in building can be traced back to the Vitruvian triad, where'utilitas' (variously translated as 'commodity', 'convenience', or 'utility') stands alongside'venustas' (beauty) and'firmitas' (firmness)as one of three classic goals of architecture.In the early years of the 20th century, Chicago architect Louis Sullivan popularized thephrase“form ever follows function”to capture his belief that a building's size, massing, spatial grammar and othercharacteristics should be driven solely by the function of the building. The implication is that ifthe functional aspects are satisfied, architectural beauty would naturally and necessarilyfollow.en.wikipedia.org

It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic,Of all things physical and metaphysical,Of all things human and all things super-human,Of all true manifestations of the head,Of the heart, of the soul,That the life is recognizable in its expression,That form ever follows function. This is the law.Utilitarianism in architecture can mean several things.The belief that the value of a feature is determined by its utility. The quality of beingutilitarian: housing of bleak utilitarianism.The aesthetic of exposing necessary materials and features, such as metal or heatingpipes, which are normally included in a design for their utility rather than their aestheticappeal.
