Organic Architecture • Organic architecture is a philosophy which promotes harmony between human habitation and the natural world. • Organic architecture strives to unify space, to blend interiors and exteriors, and create a harmonic built environment that is not separate or dominant from nature but part of a unified whole.
Ex : Among the many famous structures Wright designed, two of the most celebrated are: •Fallingwater - Wright's most famous work, it uses natural stone and an existing mountain stream to blend habitation and nature.
While Sullivan believed that "form follows function," Wright argued that "form and function are one.“ • The structure must therefore be designed as if it was molded by nature for and from that landscape.
•
Likewise, the color scheme must derive from fields and woods to match the elements of nature.
Another key component of this architectural style is simplicity. Open spaces are valued as the amount of rooms is reduced.
