	organicARCHITECT :: organic
		Although the word "organic" is now used as a buzzword for something that occurs naturally, when connected to architecture, it takes on a new meaning.
		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).

	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.

	The Architecture of Organic Production
		The principles that support organic production today are being challenged by those who view the current biological and cultural architecture of organics as unnecessary constraints to future profits and growth of the organic industry.
		The oft-stated motives for industrializing organics is to make organic foods more accessible and acceptable to more consumers, to enhance the healthfulness, safety, and quality of food supplies, to expand markets for farmers, and to protect the environment from commercial fertilizers and pesticides.
		The architecture of sustainability is currently competing with the architecture of industrialization for the future of organic agriculture, as well as for the future of agriculture in general.

		The author considers the rectilinear architecture of our time to be "a reflection of the materialist values of an industrially driven age."

		Organic architecture is not a return to the past, a nostalgic style, Pearson warns, it has always fascinated and inspired.
		Although there are parallels between deconstructivism and organic architecture, Pearson believes the two styles are driven by antipodal forces: deconstructivism by a need to express a world of apprehension and uncertainty; organic architect by a desire for a harmonious and sustainable future.

	New Organic Architecture
		Organic architecture is rooted in a passion for life, nature, and natural forms, and is full of the vitality of the natural world with its biological forms and processes.
		His two Goetheanums were a dramatic illustration of this new style of architecture that united spirit and matter with a living interaction between part and whole, the crucial link being the metamorphosis between the small (seed) and the large (plant) whereby the new form is always, as in nature, prefigured in the previous form.
		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).
