Contemporary Organic Architecture Summary

Contemporary Organic Architecture by Academy Editions

'Organicism' for Frank Lloyd Wright meant prismatic space and structure accommodating human needs through scale and the dictates of a given landscape. He deemed the circle, square and triangle as crucial to environmental design. Organic architecture reveals the desire to reflect the character and lifestyle of the client while complementing nature with a structure that is both visually and environmentally compatible. It aims to produce a physical rapport with the given natural features of the landscape, climate and people. Many of the projects included in this issue indicate the move towards liberating form and the creation of rhythm through the continuous flow of texture. Design attention can be seen to encompass landscaping as an extension of the original rhythmic order. It often materialises through a synthesis of architecture and landscape architecture effecting a mutual understanding, The desire for freedom, lightness and continuity requires the use of technologically elegant fabrication. Architects involved in Organic Architecture include Bart Prince, Terry Brown, Imre Makovecz, Daniel Liebermann, Harvey Ferrero, Mickey Muenning and Will Miller. Visually and environmentally compatible structures. A serious alternative to the soulless interpretations of modernism often found today. A symbiotic approach to architecture, nature and the occupier.
