We are pleased to announce the first weekly episode of Lapsus Lima's podcast, A History of Architecture, where we will examine the roots of the built world we live in. Today we released part one of our look at Louis Sullivan’s thoughts on form following function and the history of the skyscraper.
We have all heard the phrase "form follows function," but what did Louis Sullivan mean by it when he wrote it in 1896? How has that meaning changed over time, and what can we learn today by returning to the source? Our podcast starts with an exploration of Sullivan's influential essay, "The Tall Office Building Artistically Considered."
