Organic Architecture

Organic architecture is a design philosophy that emphasizes integrating buildings with their natural surroundings to create harmonious environments. It seeks to mimic forms and patterns found in nature to promote sustainability, functionality, and visual appeal. Principles of organic architecture include integration with the site's topography, climate and vegetation; use of natural materials like wood, stone and earth; spatial flows that connect interior and exterior spaces; functionality to meet occupants' needs while connecting to nature; and sustainable design practices. Pioneers of organic architecture include Frank Lloyd Wright, whose Fallingwater in Pennsylvania is a classic example, and Bruce Goff, a self-taught American architect known for unconventional designs that incorporated organic principles.
