Form Follows Fetish

It must be said that most often form outlives function. The body of architecture is a given fact, and so its presence and experience. Is it fair to say then, that it is form that should ideally be more controlled/planned by the architect then function to have more chances to survive societal change? Is form here to stay because it is the primary, and also ultimate, asset of architecture?

The proliferation of digital techniques has brought a close to the seemingly enduring separation of function and ornamentation in architecture. Whether sculpted or scripted, small variations in software protocols and fabrication mechanics can result in the more or less exuberant articulation of ornate surfaces and volumes. Thus could one state that function has long lost its primacy as design purpose, scope and object(ivity) over, for example, complex, texturized geometric formations?
