Forms follows function

After some reading, i realize that a good functional product always has a good form. Like what Sullivan said:

It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic,
Of all things physical and metaphysical,
Of all things human and all things super-human,
Of all true manifestations of the head,
Of the heart, of the soul,
That the life is recognizable in its expression,
That form ever follows function. This is the law.

For example,
A car's form-A car's normally have low center point to keep it stable when it is moving, you didn't see a car with 10 meter tall moving, because the center point is too high and can't maintain it's own balance and the car might just "fall" while turning.

Road side ads-Usually road side ads fonts are big to let drivers to able to notice it in short time. the fonts can't be too small because a driver has around 6-10 sec to read whats on the ads.

Here are some examples:


This "pikachu" car can't say is not well function, but when the car is going through a tunnel or passing through toll, the "ear" might collide with the walls or the pole. but somehow it still looks cute for a car.



The design of this apartment
is actually a funny type one. they try to make this small apartment invert but it's still actually normal house inside.The only problem is that the design of the house will collide with the wire and it is very dangerous to the people who live inside the aparment.
