	title of this thread your message To clarify my thought, I will take the coffee grinder example. Coffee does not grind itself. Coffee is just coffee without a grinder. A grinder is a form that carries out a function. Take away the form of the coffee grinder and there can be no function of grinding. There can only be a need to grind. We need the shelter that a house provides. The house is a form that provides the function of shelter. If there is no house ( i.e., no form), then there is no function of shelter. To elaborate, we have a need to go places. We can choose smong serveral forms of transportation that give us corresponding functions of going places. Without these forms of transportation, there are no functions of going places--only needs to go places. We have a need. We create a form that can carry out the function of fulfilling that need. So: form follows need. function follows form. associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
