 What Is the Purpose of Organic Architecture?

To create a unified To interact with natural To chart a journey

ecosystem life through space
 To foster a harmonious interaction between the built
structure and the natural environment, without making
the structure dominant over its surroundings, but rather

Social as part of a coherent whole. It seeks to bring the three

components:

Context

 Advocates of "organic architecture" in the United States in
the nineteenth and twentieth centuries wanted to realize
democratic principles that were still merely visionary in the
industrial capitalist country by basing buildings on the

Political natural world. The cultivation of individual character as a

foundation for self-governance was a crucial aspect of
organic architecture for Frank Lloyd Wright.

Context Wright abstracted botanical forms into constituent

geometries, which he used as the foundation for both
planning and ornamentation. The ensuing structures served
as models for the personal integrity he believed to be the
cornerstone of citizenship.
 Wright believed that organic architecture is a way to address
the continuous issues of social change, modernism, and

Cultural
technological development. The idea of organic architecture
changes as the world changes and as its problems change.

Context Organic architecture might provide a sustainable answer to

the ongoing conflict between humans and nature in a world
marked by urbanization, gentrification, and deforestation. It
might also help us reconcile our rapidly growing cities and
large-scale construction projects with nature and our
biosphere.
