    Organic architecture aims to harmonize man-made structures with nature. It promotes unique designs that are integral to their sites and environments. Key principles include using local materials, respecting natural forms and features, and avoiding harm to the environment. Pioneers like Frank Lloyd Wright, Antoni Gaudi, Zaha Hadid, and Santiago Calatrava drew inspiration from nature's geometry, materials, and sense of fluid movement in their distinctive organic designs.

    Introduction

    "Organic Architecture" was invented by Frank Lloyd


    Wright in 1908
     Promotes harmony between man-made structure
    and the nature
     Every structure is unique & unrepeatable.
    • Organic architecture not only addresses
    environmental concerns but also expresses
    individuality
    CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES
    Main Features

    1. Nature
    2. Geometry
    3. Environment
    4. local materials
    5. No harm to the nature
    Inspired From Inspired From
    Nature Geometry
     Inspired By Environment
     Organic architecture is the
    blending of structure with
    environment.
     Environment includes
    land, water, wind, light,
    material etc.
    Frank Lloyd Wright
    • He was an American
    architect, interior designer,
    writer and educator,
    • who designed more than
    1,000 structures and
    completed 500 works.  

    • Wright promoted organic


    architecture (exemplified
    by Fallingwater).
    Basic Principles of Wright Designs
     Organic Colors
     Simple Geometric
    Shapes
     Integration of
    Building with
    Natural
    Surroundings
     Strong Horizontal
    Lines

    Frank Lloyd Wright

     “one that is integral to site; integral to


    environment; integral to the life of the
    inhabitants.
     A house integral with the nature of
    materials --- wherein glass is used as glass,
    stone as stone, wood as wood --- and all the
    elements of environment go into and
    throughout the house.
     Into this new integrity, once there,
    those who live in it will take root and grow.
     And most of all belonging to the
    nature of its being.” Frank Lloyd Wright

    HOUSE RISING OUT OF THE HILL NATURALLY


    OLFELFT HOUSE (1958)
    Frank Lloyd Wright
     Integral to Site - houses designed to rise up
    out of the site as it belonging. HOUSE SITS ON ROCK
     Integral to environment - built appropriately “CLIFF” RISING FROM
    to climate. THE SEA AND
    COVERED WITH
     Integral to Individual - Each building built to
    GREEN CANOPY ROOF
    accommodate the lifestyle of the
    WALKER HOUSE
    inhabitants way of life and needs.
     Integral to Materials - details of the building
    were the materials themselves

    Falling water

    Falling water is also knows as


    Kaufmann Residence
    Is a house designed by architect Frank
    Lloyd Wright in 1935 Pennsylvania
     This residence was built partly over a
    waterfall
    Earlier , It was used as weekly home
    but later on it was opened to the public
    as a museum

    Design principle
    • The design of Falling water should come
    from the site like flower growing from the
    ground.

    • The quality and nature of materials are


    seen „flowing or growing.
    Design Construction

    It is a three storied cantilevered house


     Terrace seems to float in the air above
    the stream
    Made use of combination of materials
    such as wood, glass & reinforced concrete
    Vertical anchor made up of stone rises
    more than 3 stories
    Vertical anchor consists of windows
    starting from floor to ceiling
     The windows are glass framed with steel.
     Horizontals of the cantilevers are made
    of reinforced concrete which are
    embedded in rocks
     The main level is connected to the stream
    via the staircase.

    The dramatic geometry gives the structure


    the “feeling of movement” and
    “momentum
    ZAHA HADID

    The structure emerges from the fluid


    geometry of a surrounding network of
    arteries, three of which entangle to form the
    building
    ANTONI GAUDI
    Philosophy
    Influenced mainly by nature, art and other
    architectural styles.
    Used to find art and architecture in nature.
    Used to bring various styles seen in nature
    along with geometric forms to his design.

    Sagrada Familia

    Geometrical
    forms
    Used organic style inspired by nature.
    Took various structural and ornamental solutions
    from nazarí and mudéjar art.

    Colonia Guell Casa Battlo


    Then moved towards Modernisme.
    Study of nature translated into his use of ruled
    geometrical forms such as the hyperbolic
    paraboloid, the hyperboloid, the helicoid and
    the cone, which reflect the forms Gaudi found in
    nature

    Bellesguard
    Park guell
    The catenary curve - to add an element of great strength
    to his structures.
    -We can see this feature through his works-Casa Mila, the School
    of the Teresianas, the crypt of the Colonia Güell and the Sagrada
    Casa battlo

    Santiago Calatrava

    Santiago Calatrava is a Spanish architect,


    sculptor & structural engineer
    His style is
    very personal
    and derives
    from
    numerous
    studies he
    makes of the
    human body

    Conclusions

    "Organic Architecture"
    brings nature and
    structure together
     Importance is given to
    both structure as well as
    nature.
    It helps in reducing the
    disturbance caused to the
    environment.
     Every structure is unique
    & unrepeatable.
