Although a building and its internal spaces remain essentially physically static, everything else changes. And change implies movement. The environment in which a space exists has its own dynamics of time, light, air and resonance, and the people within the space contribute their own dynamics of motion, action, reaction, thought and imagination. The problem often exists in the tools and processes used to depict, express and develop ideas during the design process itself. Like medicine it is important acknowledge the wider organic, spiritual and emotional contexts.

The notion that form follows function implies that a function is a single, colourless, identifiable action that can be wrapped and contained.
