Organic Architecture

Architecture, as a material practice, attains social, cultural and ecological relevance through the articulation of material arrangements and structures.

Organic architecture: this idea refers to the buildings' literal relationship to the natural surroundings but also to the building's design if it were a unified organism. Frank Lloyd Wright was the first architect who has a design process related to the organic architecture. The design of a building is not the only characteristic. Materials, motifs and basic ordering principles continue to repeat themselves throughout the building as a whole.

Organic shape are shapes that are found in nature, but they are also shapes of man-made items.

"Let the design:

• be inspired by nature and be sustainable, healthy, conserving and diverse.

• unfold, like an organism, from the seed within

• exist in the "continuous present" and "began again and again"

•  be flexible and adaptable

• satisfy social, physical and spiritual needs

• "grow out of this site" and be unique

• play, imagine, surprise

• express the rhythm of music and the power of dance 

• move all around

  
  

Be unique people!
