Features: Research on form and functionality can be traced back to Louis Sullivan of the Chicago School. His theory can be summarized in a sentence: the beauty of an object is defined by the practicality of its materials and structure. This is similar to our exploration of the source of the awe-inspiring long-span dome of the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul: it is not the Byzantine decorative art that plays a role, but the application of the finally breaks through the load-bearing walls that the Roman architecture could not escape from. It is not for the sake of expression, but it achieves the effect of expression. In the automotive industry, we cannot mention Giorgio Giugiaro, a strong advocate of pragmatism. He advocates that automotive design should remove meaningless decorative elements, and all lines, curves, and the arrangement of elements should be centered on the principle of functionality. At the 20th Century Automotive Designer Award ceremony in Las Vegas, it wasn't BMW's Bonger, MG's Stevens, or General Motors' Cherry who smiled—Giugiaro's victory seemed to indicate a certain general understanding in the design world. Design that ignores functionality may not necessarily be ugly, but it is definitely a failed work.
