functionalism
Definition
Design philosophy that the form of a organization or product must be based on its intended function within its anticipated environment, and everything that does not serve a clear, practical purpose must be eliminated. Succinctly expressed by the architect Louis Sullivan as "form follows function," this approach is based on the concept that form of item can be deduced from the knowledge of the purpose it is meant to serve.
