Individual Padlet: Architecture by

1. FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION
Form follows function because everything has an order and harmony with one another in the architecture and the order and the harmony in this sense is what makes the architecture beautiful and purposeful to the people who are going to use it. The form here refers to the material aspects of the architecture, like how many chairs or how many tables in one classroom; while the function refers to the purpose or the reason why the architecture was built, like a classroom for students to get education.

2. NUMERUS: PROPORTION AND SCALE
The proportion refers to an ordered set of mathematical relationships among the dimensions of a form and space, scale refers to how we perceive the size of something in relation to something else (Arch121.cankaya.edu.tr, 2020). The Greeks and Romans was very strict on getting everything a proportion because they believed that will preserve the universal harmony. We make a comparison between two architectures to understand the scale of each, according to how we developed the idea of scale throughout the time.

3. HARMONY
When form, function, and numerus become unified in an architecture, there is harmony as a result. The literary meaning of harmony is pleasing arrangement of parts (Merriam-webster.com, 2020). The harmony that we find in the architectures refers to the conformity of the materials, colors, structures, shapes, form, and function with each other. Once the elements of the architecture are formed a unity among themselves, they also create a harmony that makes people adore the work.
