Organic Architecture - by Frank L. Wright

Ar. Farah Wahaj

Abstract


An architectural ideology known as "organic architecture" encourages harmony between human living and the natural environment. This is accomplished by using design strategies that strive to be sympathetic and well-integrated with a site, resulting in structures, furniture, and surrounds becoming a single, interconnected composition.
The inclusiveness of Wright's design process also reflects organic architecture. The structure as a whole is characterised by the repetition of materials, motifs, and fundamental ordering principles. In addition to the physical connection between a building and its natural surroundings, the term "organic architecture" also describes how a building's design has been meticulously considered to resemble a whole organism. Wright's structures use geometry to create a unified tone and theme.
