THE TERMS…

There is nothing more uncommon than common sense.-Frank Lloyd Wright

SENSE

???

FUNCTION

???

FORM

???

Where is the culture???

THE ANSWER IS HERE…

FORM• Visible shape… configuration …variety• The solidified ideas…with a punch mark of sense into it

FUNCTION• An activity…movement…response• A sorted relationship of senses

SENSE• Ability to perceive…awareness of thoughts• Interpretation of situations and sensitivity

Culture…should be integrated in the fabric itself…this fabric contains all the above ingredients

The only need….expressing the sense in the most sensible format

THE SOCIAL CAVE…

Searching the roots of culture and architecture in the modern social hub…where the function and form exist but sort no direct relationship with culture

BRIDGING THE GAP…..between perspectives and practical's

An attempt to rejuvenate the link between the sense and the design to achieve a meaningful conclusion…attributes

FORM AND CULTURE…

The components of expression, which communicate the particular values of style, are content and form. Since content can be communicated only through form, the two are organically united

Bio-mimicry as a culture connects the nature and the sense of design which is nothing but replicating nature in nature itself: evident from the birds’ nest, china

FORM AND CULTURE…

This relation sometimes exceeds the marque like the one with The House of arts and culture proposal by KAPUTT, how this

thing looks like a fractured piece of earth with molten lava underneath

Form adaption of the Sanchi stupa into the Vidhan sabha in Bhopal by Charles Correa also highlights the connection between architecture and culture being sorted out

A MATTER OF TIME…

When Oscar Niemeyer, the legendary architect and designer, died, his passing from the Brazilian design scene was merely

temporal, as both his work and legacy continue to infuse a sensuous, form-centric culture that the world is embracing

with increasing interest and ardour

The evolution of culture happens…hence the evolution of form, form is understood as a result of belief and need: the pyramids and face of anti-ornation modernism, the Opera house

FOLLOW THE FEET…

"Function" came to be seen as encompassing all criteria of the use, perception and enjoyment of a building, not only practical but also aesthetic, psychological and cultural

Kanchenjunga apartments in form present a highly modernistic western ideas but in its functional and cultural aspects its truly Indian

FUNCTION AND CULTURE…

The garbhagriha or the sanctum of temples has smaller openings thus facilitating the bending while entering which is a sign of respect…thus a cultural aspect associated with functionality

Some form and functions are a direct consequence of local climate or availability of materials wears some developed as a cosmological manifestation: the charbagh concept of The Mughal gardens

FUNCTION AND CULTURE…

Gothic rib vaults evolved from the roman groin vaults and proved to be effective in all architectural aspects. The form of tipi as a cone is a direct consequence of the functionality and

culture of the north American nomads

With evolution form to evolved and modernism saw simplified function in form of modular adaptions of 21 st century…though the functionality was retained and experimented: jaalis

A DOSE OF CULTURE…

When form meets culture and function…

Modern adaption of

Chinese DOU GONG brackets to increase the clear span of roof without

disturbing the street

THE THINKER SAYS…

Form follows function is a principle associated with modernist architecture and industrial design in the 20th century. The principle is that the shape of a building or object should be primarily based upon its intended

function or purpose

FUNCTION=

FORM

???

FORM=

FUNCTION

???

Sense of design is all about embedding the notion of cultural elements into the human realm where even in the most modern of approaches it finds a safe place

CONCLUSION…

“Form and Function aren’t separate entities. If we believe that style somehow exists independent of functionality, that we can treat aesthetics and function as two separate pieces, then we ignore the evidence that beauty is much more than decoration and it should be remembered that indulgence of culture makes the

form and function truly acceptable”

The centennial tree house shows how due to our

cultural orientation towards nature the

preserved tree still stands within the house
