Organic architecture is a philosophy of architecture which promotes harmony between human habitation and the natural world through design approaches so sympathetic and well integrated with its location, buildings, furnishings, and surroundings become part of a unified, symbiotic composition.
Frank Lloyd Wright coined the term – Organic Architecture- where nature has has an enormous impact on his designs. Wright’s innovative use of material and space in organic architecture reflected a deep awareness of natural materials, such as stone and wood, each with its particular nature, underlying organizational principles and forms, and significance. His early Prairie Style structures, which appeared to rise out of the ground, emphasized horizontal lines, employed flat roofs, and echoed land forms. Repeated geometric forms borrowed from natural shapes of crystals, honeycombs, and waves served as decorative design units.
Wright’s recognition of site and spacing within the broader concept of landscape led to several organic architectural principles are still being used today.
