Brief Biography of Frank Lloyd Wright He described his "organic architecture" as one that "proceeds, persists, creates, according to the nature of man and his circumstances as they both change."

The "marrying" of the building and hill became the first principal of organic architecture, a principal he was later to contradict. www.oprf.com /flw/bio   (1778 words)
