Question

Given below are two statements: 
Statement I: The concept of “form follows function” suggests that a building's design should primarily consider its use. 
Statement II: The concept of “form follows function” means that aesthetics should take precedence over functionality. 
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

• A. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
• B. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
• C. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
• D. Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Hint:

“Form follows function” means function comes first—appearance is shaped by use, not the other way around.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: The principle “form follows function” was introduced by architect Louis Sullivan and became a foundational idea in modern architecture. Explanation:
Statement I is true because the concept emphasizes that the shape and form of a building should be determined by its intended function or use.
Statement II is false because the principle does \emph{not} suggest that aesthetics should dominate functionality. Instead, aesthetics are expected to emerge naturally from functional design. Thus, only Statement I is correct.
Final Answer: \(\boxed{\text{Statement I is true but Statement II is false}}\)
