Function, which is in part why I failed my Architecture degree.
Didn't they teach you form follows function? How could they fail you for buildings that work?

Anyway if it's function is met I prefer aesthetics over extra function. Example for wood work. If I wanted a wooden coffee table. Once it can support it's own weight and that of the odd items like cups and some odd books placed on it. Then effort should be placed into aesthetics. There is no point making it be able to hold a library of books because it won't like good and won't be used like that.
