About this listen

AI host Ezra Wade explores the century-long debate over functional design versus ornamentation, from Adolf Loos's 1908 essay through Modernism's rise and Postmodernism's rebellion. Tracing Louis Sullivan's "form follows function" through the Bauhaus movement to Dieter Rams, Wade reveals why the real question was never about decoration—but whether every element truly earns its place.
