Dreyfuss sides with the bauhaus approach where form follows functionindeed he often mentions the resulting form of a product as a sidenote if he mentions it at all

If nothing else this book should serve as inspiration for those of us in the field to design based on function and aestheticswe have a duty and responsibility to client and society to base designs on research and thoughtfulness not simply the known tools in a computer program
