Organic architecture
Organic architecture seeks to present buildings and the environment as an integral whole, it refers to the design and construction of structures and spaces that are in balance with their natural environment and adapted to functions that serve the inhabitants. The organically designed structures seem to merge with the landscape, as if born from the surrounding areas.
Organic architecture is inspired by the natural world. A number of principles of this movement echo the ideas of Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau; a desire to use local materials, a preference for handwork, mass uniformity, flowing, asymmetrical lines that harmonize with the elements of the surrounding nature.
New forging technologies and the appearance of concrete contributed to the realization of these principles. wrought iron was used for Art Nouveau style "vegetable curls" and branches.
The term "organic architecture" was first used by Frank Lloyd Wright to describe the approach he pioneered in which structures are seen as living organisms with an integrated design. This architect was interested in the relationship between buildings and their environment. He believed that the building should complement its surroundings to create a unified space that seems to "grow naturally" from the ground. He also believed that a building should function as an integrated organism, where each part of the design relates to the whole.
Wright's organic architecture often incorporates natural elements such as light, plants and water. His choice of colors also reflected the environment: yellows, oranges and browns. Her favorite color is red, which holds significant meaning both in nature and in Japanese culture, which she admires.
In many famous structures designed by Wright, he uses natural stone and an existing mountain stream to blend housing and nature.
