2. All things in nature have a shape. A form, an outward resemblance. Tells us what they are. Distinguishes them from ourselves and from each other. Express the inner life" of the thing is a law of nature, which should be followed in any organic architecture. The exterior "shell" of the skyscraper should change in appearance to reflect interior functions. If this new architectural, organic form is to be part of natural beauty, the exterior facade should be consistent as each interior function changes. FORM BLOSSOMING DUBAI

3. Born in Boston, Louis Sullivan (1856-1924) Louis Sullivan is one of the great historical figures in American architecture, but most importantly he influenced the language of architecture. Often called America's first truly modern architect. Sullivan argued that a tall building's exterior design (form) should reflect the activities (functions) that take place inside the walls of the building. His 1891 Wainwright Building in St. Louis, Missouri reflects Sullivan's philosophy and design principles. ARCHITECT LOUIS SULLIVAN

4. Function is the essential act that an object, process or idea should carry out. A house is meant as a space to live in, protecting us from the environment For example: a car should drive, a fork should lift, a seatbelt should contain, a spiritual idea should inspire, etc FUNCTION

5. Many buildings are built following the form follows function principle which suggest that the shape of a building or space should be based upon the indented function or purpose. FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION Dubai Tower Bookshelf

Specify building massing , height and relation to street and public spaces .
