FORM FOLLOW FUNCTIONS

Frankly Speaking I Have No Idea What To Write For This Assignment, I've Googled Thru The Internet and Some Of The Explanation Makes Sense. So One Day While Checking Out Some Shoes In A Nike Store, I Stumbled Upon An Ad For Nike's Air Max Premium 90....

Air Max 90

"Form follows function. Truth in materials. This was the guiding ethos for the Air Max. Tinker Hatfield believed you should see what's propelling you forward. That led to the first Air Max and the second–the Air Max 90–four years later. It took the first version literally to the max."

Hmmm, This Is Interesting.... As Nike Intreprets Their Design Based On This Forms Follow Function. Is It A Theory Or Somesort? A Formula? An Idea?

The Images Below Are Some Shoes Examples That Was Designed Base On The Form Follow Function " Theory ".
Most Of The Googled Result Of Form Follow Functions Are Kinda Complicated To Understand and Some Of Them Are Confusing. I Decided To Do A Research On This Topic From Nike's Point Of View As It Gives More Understanding and The Relativity Is There.



The Term Form Follows Function Was Coined By Louis Sullivan. Also Dubbed As " America's First Truly Modern Architects " . The Notion Formss Follow Function Is Being A Building's Purpose Should Guide It's Design.

To Put It Into Much Simpler Words,  A Design Which Suites It's Purpose.


The Person Above Is Tom Stites, With The Same Concept Of Form Follow Funtions He Implied It To Moden Improvements In Nike's Golf Equipment. Nike's Blazed Into The Golf Industry Successfully, As One Of Nike's Revered Success In Producing Products That People Seems To Relate To. In Relation With The Design To The Usage and Purpose - In Other Words, Form Follow Functions.
Final Words ; Basically Forms Follow Fucntion Is A Process ( Or Theory ) Whereby The Product Will Be Design According To It's Needs Or Purpose, Just As Nike Did With Their Successful Line Of Sport Products.
