Intro
The "form follows function" principle highlights the importance of utilitarian simplicity in modern architecture.
A key example of this idea is the housing design in the Johnathan Hay Centre, which offered culturally specific living spaces for laborers and migrants from rural areas.
Introduced by Louis Sullivan
1986

[Имя] — предприниматель
и видеограф с опытом [10+] лет
Больше [10] лет я зарабатываю на видео: съёмка, монтаж, продакшн. Не в найме — сам. Через клиентов, переговоры, срывы сроков, отказы и рост чека.
Сегодня мой доход в видео — от [300 000 ₽] в месяц. Не на старте. Не в теории. Каждый месяц.
Я не учился бизнесу по книгам. Я прошёл всё руками: первые съёмки за [5 000 ₽], первые отказы, первых клиентов, которых находил через знакомых и переписки. В этом практикуме я собрал то, что реально работает — без мотивации и без «просто начни».
Программа «Второй доход за 30 дней» — это не курс о бизнесе. Это система, по которой я сам выходил из найма и продолжаю зарабатывать. Всё, что внутри, я применял на себе.

Architectural movements faced criticism—few understood true innovation

"Fallingwater, with its concrete terraces perched over a real waterfall, symbolizes a rare harmony between architecture and nature." — Helen Marquart

"Fallingwater is a clear example that modern architecture can be both boldly structural and closely integrated with nature." — Sofia Lindgren

The guiding principle is clear: combine simplicity with ergonomics to minimize effort, maximize comfort, and ensure the design adapts to you and your needs.
03
Clear lines and simple forms are more than a style choice—they make spaces feel functional and coherent by giving every element a clear purpose and role.

Modernism was fueled by Louis Sullivan’s maxim "form follows function," a rallying cry for utility and simplicity. Yet it wasn’t absolute: Art Deco architects like Auguste Perret and Henri Sauvage mixed clean modern geometry with selective ornament, proving design can balance innovation and elegance. They let proportion, rhythm, and new materials—especially reinforced concrete—do the heavy lifting.
After the First World War, architecture as a conceptual field split. Many defended neo-classical and Beaux-Arts traditions, while others pushed for a radical break. Modernists—Le Corbusier and Robert Mallet-Stevens in France, Walter Gropius and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in Germany, and Konstantin Melnikov in the Soviet Union—argued for clarity of form and the elimination of ornament.
