He also applied ideas of metamorphosis to art and architecture, the dynamics of form active in all living organisms, whereby an orderly and cyclic transformation can be traced in all plant forms from seed to calyx to blossom to fruit (and to seed again)--a concept central to the development of organic architecture (see page 40).

Eighteenth-century Gothic interiors used the arch not only as a structural principle (in doorways and windows or in load-bearing positions), but also as a decorative one, for example to frame bookcases or other elements of interior design.
