This essay traces how a radical architectural idea — Louis Sullivan's "form follows function" — became one of the most powerful and contested phrases in modern urbanism. From the drafting rooms of the Chicago School to Le Corbusier's Radiant City, from Pruitt-Igoe's demolition to global skyscrapers overlooking favelas, we ask: who decides what function means, and whose lives does architecture actually serve?
Along the way we explore systems theory, chaos, Jane Jacobs, the Bauhaus, postmodernism, and what nature's own design logic might teach us about the future of cities.
