About this Quote

Frank Lloyd Wright's quote suggests that form and function need to be inseparable. He believes that form and function ought to be combined, creating a spiritual connection between the 2. This idea has actually been misunderstood, as form and function are typically seen as 2 separate entities. Wright recommends that type and function ought to be intertwined, developing an unified relationship between the two. He believes that type must be an extension of function, and that the two need to be inextricably connected. This quote emphasizes the value of creating a balance between kind and function, and recommends that the 2 must be unified in order to develop an effective design. Wright's quote motivates designers to believe holistically, and to think about the relationship in between form and function when developing a design.
