Please answer the following questions and post your responses here: What does “Form follows Function” mean? Who coined this saying? Why are there skyscrapers in the city but not in the country?

The saying "form follows function" was coined by Louis Sullivan in 1896. It means that the shape should be based on the function/purpose of the building. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_follows_function)

Skyscrapers are built for certain purposes and are built where they are needed. There are also considerably less people in the country than in the city so rural areas do not need buildings that hold as many people as skyscrapers do.
