	1939: Architecture - Archive Article - MSN Encarta
		Although the architects were limited to 'interior architecture' as the pavilion occupied space in the Fair-built Court of Nations, their design was a self-sufficient example of the most advanced trends in modern architecture.
		On the other hand, modern architecture itself no longer has the white, impersonal boxiness which characterized the less inspired modern work of the twenties; there is a new feeling apparent in the best contemporary work all over the world.
		Second, in the work of the recognized architectural leaders there were evident, and to an even greater degree, the same tendencies which characterize the most advanced American architecture: new interest in materials and their appropriate use and a new, freer, and more dynamic planning technique.

	Frank Lloyd Wright
		Organic architecture involves a respect for the properties of the materials—you don’t twist steel into a flower—and a respect for the harmonious relationship between the form/design and the function of the building (for example, Wright rejected the idea of making a bank look like a Greek temple).
		Organic architecture is also an attempt to integrate the spaces into a coherent whole: a marriage between the site and the structure and a union between the context and the structure.
		The philosophy of organic architecture was present consistently in his body of work and the scope of its meaning mirrored the development his architecture.

	Architecture - Frank Lloyd Wright
		He is considered one of the greatest figures in 20th-century architecture.
		He believed that the architectural form must ultimately be determined in each case by the particular function of the building, its environment, and the type of materials employed in the structure.
		Among his fundamental contributions was the use of various building materials for their natural colours and textures, as well as for their structural characteristics.

		At the same time, a considerable part of Danish architecture is regionally anchored, particularly housing, which is developing the dense, low concept of the 1970s into a contemporary style.
		During the Renaissance, Danish architecture was dominated by the building of manor houses such as the 16th century Hesselagergaard and Egeskov, both on Funen.
		In both castles the actual architectural expression, the decorative finish, was in the preferred Dutch Renaissance style, with lavish sandstone ornamentation on a red brick background.

		Landscape architecture instruction is based on a substantive foundation of ecology and culture.
		In 1939, the program established the first PhD program in landscape architecture in the U.S. From its early days, the program has focused on the integration of an understanding of ecological principles and human behavior with the design and planning of land.
		Landscape architecture coursework is approached as preparation for entering myriad streams of the profession - giving students options for specializing and defining future ways of practice in ecological restoration, landscape ecology, historic preservation, sustainable development, urban design and environmental advocacy, as well as site planning and land use planning.

	Michael Scott Architect (1905-1989) - New York World Fair of 1939 [Archeire, Irish Architecture Online]
		This pressure and political manoeuvring was reflected in the commissioning of Scott, as both the Architecture Graduate's Association, and the RIAI favoured an architectural competition to select the design for the building.
		To this end the building was decorated externally with a statue of young woman emerging from the sea (by Professor Frederick Herkner (1902-1986), Professor of Sculpture at the National College of Art) inspired by a line from a W.B. Yeats' (1865-1939) poem 'your mother Éire is always young'.
		The building was officially opened on the 13 May 1939 by Tanaiste Sean T. O'Kelly officiating in place of the Taoiseach Eamon de Valera, who could not attend because of the rapidly worsening European situation.

		While Organic Architecture does describe environmental concerns, it also embodies the human spirit, transcending the mere act of shelter into something which shapes and enhancesour lives.
		Organic Architecture is not a style of imitation, but rather, a reinterpretation of Nature's principles to build forms more natural than nature itself.
		Just as in Nature, Organic Architecture involves a respect for natural materials (wood should look like wood), blending into the surroundings (a house should be of the hill, not on it), and an honest expression of the function of the building (don't make a bank look like a Greek temple).

		And he warned against the dangers of architecture being used to make iconic statements or indulge in egotistical ambitions.
		Artists, writers, musicians and other guests had routinely traipsed through Villa Montalvo, Phelan's Mediterranean-styl e mansion, and the 175 acres of gardens and orchards surrounding it long before the estate was officially bequeathed in 1930 to California for the encouragement of the arts and architecture.
		In 1939, it became an arts center and outdoor theater that supported artist residencies (in three cramped cottages and rooms inside the villa that proved inconvenient over time), a stage, and galleries for literary and visual arts.

	artnet.com: Resource Library: Doicescu, Octav (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In the late 1930s he travelled in Italy, particularly Tuscany, where he found affinities with his own approach to architecture in the restrained use of decoration to achieve natural light effects on surfaces, in the flat roofs and in the subtle handling of materials.
		Doicescu developed an architectural style characterized by simple volumes adapted to environmental and functional requirements, revealing a sensitivity in his use of materials and rejecting any artificial assimilation of the International Style or the highly decorative Byzantine Revival tradition in Romanian architecture.
		Doicescu’s search for a ‘lyrical architecture’, based on economy of detail and rhythmic balance, also reflected his friendship with the sculptor CONSTANTIN BRANCUSI, with whom he collaborated on a project (1938–41; unexecuted) for a temple at Indore, India (see Varia).
