Form follows Science

Hindi translation: Shastranusari swarup

English term or phrase: Form follows Science
I am translating the manual of a household item. The client has coined a tagline for it as "Form follows Science". Here is their explanation for this tagline:


Form follows science is a takeoff of the famous architectural expression – form follows function – quoted by famous architect Louis Sullivan

It refers to the fact that Item's form (her shape and design both aesthetically and functionally – is determined by science (research and development)

That science drove her visuals.

Any suggestions for a catchy tagline in Hindi?

Thanks. All suggestions by everybody are very creative and helped me a lot. It was difficult to choose one person for the point, so, I am choosing the person who has the lowest Kudoz. We need to encourage new comers, hope peers will not mind.

Thanks again to all of you.

form follows science
vigyan prerit roop


Explanation:
One possibility is विज्ञन प्रेरित रूप (vigyan prerit roop) or विज्ञान से प्रेरणा लेते रूप (vigyan se prerna lete roop.

If you take a literal meaning of "follows", then you will have to say:
विज्ञान का अनुगमन/अनुसरण करते रूप (vigyan ka anugaman/anusaran karte roop)

In the above, roop can also be substituted by aakaar (आकार).

Since here form actually means design, you can also use अभिक्लप (abhikalp), the Hindi term used for design, in place of roop.

In fact अभिकल्प gives some more possibilities:
विज्ञान आधारित अभिकल्पन (vigyan aadharit abhikalpan)
विज्ञान आधारित अभिकल्प (vigyan aadharit abhikalp)
विज्ञान केंद्रित अभिकल्प/अभिकल्पन (vigyan kendrit abhikalp/abhikalpan, and so on.
