Organic Architecture is a term Frank Lloyd Wright
used to describe his approach to architectural design.
The philosophy grew from the ideas of
Frank Lloyd Wright's mentor, Louis Sullivan,
who believed that "form follows function."
Wright argued that "form and function are one."
Organic architecture strives to integrate space into a unified whole.
Frank Lloyd Wright was not concerned with architectural style,
because he believed that every building should grow naturally from its environment.
Organic architecture is an architecture from within outward, in which entity is an ideal… organic means intrinsic – in the philosophic sense, entity – wherever the whole is to the part as the part is to whole and where the nature of materials the nature of purpose, the nature of entire performance , becomes clear as a necessity.
