Where function does not change, form does not change. The granite rocks, the ever- brooding hills, remain for ages; the lightning lives, comes into shape, and dies, in a twinkling. It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic, of all things physical and metaphysical, of all things human and all things superhuman, 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.” Louis Sullivan, “The Tall Office Building Artistically Considered,” 1896 “All things in nature have a shape, that is to say, a form, an outward semblance, that tells us what they are, that distinguishes them from ourselves and from each other.” Louis Sullivan workhorse racehorse early Chicago skyscrapers - Louis Sullivan’s context "lying architecture" Skyscrapers referencing a Gothic cathedral?
