FUNCTIONAL FORMISM:The Dictate and Reveal of Primary Function and Formative Expression. A definitive Architectural and Applied Design Engineering categoric designation - irrespective of the period and stylate reference other than taking subjective account in respect of prevailing material(s) technology.
In Exposition: That embracing interpretative philosophy and applied expression: Subject Function and Environmental Sphere; Primary and Elemental Planning and Evolved Design; Functional Aesthetics: Primary, Secondary and Integrant Elements.
Subjective Examples and Representative Works:in principle and ideative of - in broad respect,
variously: The Chair:

anthropofunction-formed reveal. An Astronomical Telescope with universal operation movement:
hemispherical reveal....Theatre at Epidaurus, Greece.

Addendum Reference: Form follows function:
Under the embracing ethos of pure and applied design...form unquestionably(?) does follow function.
However(?): directive functionality is subjective under "individual interpretative" solutionary design and aesthetic expression.

Form Follows Function. Universal Definitive: Functional Formism
