DESIGN ALGEBRA

I believe that simple algebra is a source for breaking down the design process to a simple framework. I believe that using simple algebra can give you a direction for a project. All designers are deeply connected with the term "form follows function" which can be broken down to simply Function = form. This credo gave designers a framework to work around that developed modernism. I believe that this framework can be modified and reutilised by adding other words relating to the design process. Eg. Construction, concept, content, style,format etc.

If you input this into the design equation then a new credo can be born which can give you
a rationale behind a project
e.g.
form=content
content=form
construction=function
content=format
concept=style
