To create architecture is to put in order. Put what in order? Function and objects.
Meaning of the quote
When an architect designs a building, they are organizing and arranging different parts to make something work well and look good. The architect has to think about how people will use the building (the function) and what things will be inside it (the objects). By carefully planning these elements, the architect can create a well-designed and cohesive structure.
