who coined the phrase form follows function
Frank lloyd wright
Dwayne Johnson
louis sullivan
le corbusier
Answer explanation
The phrase "form follows function" was coined by architect Louis H. Sullivan in his 1896 essay "The Tall Office Building Artistically Considered." Sullivan was a mentor to Frank lloyd Wright, his young draftsman, who never forgot Sullivan's lessons. As he did with Sullivan's designs, Wright took the words of his lieber meister ("dear master") and made them his own: "Form and function are one." He came to believe that people were misusing Sullivan's idea, reducing it to a dogmatic slogan and an excuse for "foolish stylistic constructions."

Yerkes, Marshall Field, Philip Armour, Gustavus Swift, and Cyrus McCormick, offered to finance a Chicago fair.
