Form follows flows -- the Boston urban ring
The formal architectural language of existing public transit can be categorized into one of the following four architectural prototypes: form follows function, the duck, the decorated shed, and the inverted decorated shed. This thesis presents a fifth prototype which involves a kinetic and dynamic …

"The Missing Ideological Link: Functionalist Ideology and the ""Scientific"" Construction of Race in the 19th Century"
… This study argues that Cuvier's theory of functionalism, based upon the teleological principle that form follows function, was the ideological framework that informed Morton and Agassiz's anthropometric research. Cuvier's theories, then, are the intellectual foundation for scientific racism …

Earthwork Castles of Gwent and Ergyng AD 1050-1250
… It is argued that the recognisable change in the form of earthwork castle construction over the 200 year period can be seen as a consequence of changing functions. Although it has not been possible to demonstrate how the area within a castle was used, it has been possible to identify a difference …

Design and Architecture High School
… away from prior schools of thought including "form follows function" and replacing the traditional teaching of architecture with a more inclusive approach.One way to develop thought processes that lead to inclusivity is through the metaphor. Metaphors are the foundation of the imagination. …

… urban landscapes were sources used to gather information on the modern/postmodern distinction. These sources suggest that modern design principles produced functional landscapes (where form follows function), and that postmodern design principles are creating spaces that are both functional and …

Computational Amide I Spectroscopy from the ground up : building and benchmarking new tools to study disordered peptide ensembles
In the "form follows function" paradigm of structural biology, we seek to understand-and control-protein function based on our knowledge of protein structure. This process is often difficult for intrinsically disordered proteins and peptides (IDPs) which possess inherent structural disorder in …

Predictive modelling of the form and development of bone fracture healing
… the contention of this study that the rate and formation of bone healing can be modelled mathematically and computationally, respectively, based on mechanical stimuli induced by the relative motion between bone fragments. To argue this case, the following hypotheses are tested; 1) the …

Rumor source identification, contagion processes, and dynamics of social network formation and evolution
… First we consider problems dealing with information flow, where function follows form. We look at how certain network structures affect information propagation in those networks, and what consequence that holds for inferences about such flows. We examine the problem of rumor source …
