Efficiency
In my point of view, it was the requirement of efficiency which related machine and architecture together. The first time machine linked with the norm of efficiency was in the field of military, which contribute to the development of mechanization. Architects first designed by using Form Idea, but after connecting architecture to mechanization, the form of the product was actually determined by matter, which is by material and physical size. This change made the design process more efficiency as there was no need for architects to test every Form Idea. After a few studies carried by Galileo, he transferred the observations on machined to construction elements such as pillars, which cause the complete building fabric seen in analogy with the machine. When a building was regarding as a “machine”, it means that the concept and methods used in the design were contained in mechanics. The design form is more dependent on the matter, not the idea by being machine like.
