By the way, hello to every architect in the house! Or building the house? I am not an urban architect though, just one that feeds the pigeons in the park. Blogrolled.

In my opinion both approaches are relative to the (architectural) design context/objective. When following FFF1, then architects will tend to optimize spatial arrangement, thus giving birth to a form which is the result of the spaces within; but with FFF2, considering its ridiculous flexibility, then architects can manipulate users'/inhabitants' behavior thus creating a unique interaction between users. Personally I would prefer FFF2 because of its manipulative qualities (God wills that I become a dictator one day hahaha) rather than FFF1 although I won't deny that throughout my practices I employ FFF1 more than FFF2.

I personally will see function 1st because function is what human needs, their circulations therefore, their activity and all, after that the form will follow what function needs... of course what we (designer) have to do in designing is FEEDBACK; function <> form <> function, back and forth... form somehow will shaped artistically once we formulated the functions... that's a definit. I also agree with what Jane65 said... depends on the Clients... :D just like you have said up there Andie, it’s like asking which come first, egg or the chicken…

I prefer function follows form though... Only an architect can fit into a sculpturous building functions it needed :) Haven’t had any designing works lately, this post brought me back to earlier years as an architect.
