Designs by Mies van der Rohe where the structural framing of the building is exposed. Some people feel it is the most honest form of architecture and therefore, the most beautiful while others would say it lacks warmth.

The black hole....and not Oprah kind, the space kind.
The floor plan is the area of the building that the end-user will interact with on a daily basis. Very few occupants spend the majority of their time in basements or foundation portions of buildings. If form follows function, the designer must accommodate the functions of the building occupant as his/her main focus, and develop the form of the footprint secondly.

The original term phrase was, "FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION." In recent years it has been modified for literary use to "FORM FOLLOWS CONTENT."
is form follow function the guiding principal to contempory furniture
Louis Sullivan
Yes, form often follows function in the living world. Organisms have evolved specific structural characteristics that help them carry out their biological functions efficiently. For example, the shape of a bird's beak is directly related to its feeding habits, showcasing how form and function are intertwined in biology.
Form follows function means that the shape of a machine or device will be dictated by what it is designed to do. I have no idea where the "most nearly" fits in.

principle of complementarity of structure and function
Frank Lloyd Wright
"In biology, form follows function means that the structure of an organism is closely related to its function or purpose. This principle applies to evolution because natural selection acts on the functional benefits of traits, shaping organisms' forms to better suit their environments and improve their chances of survival and reproduction."
