Organic Architecture

• Organic architecture is a philosophy which promotes harmony between human habitation and the natural world.

• Organic architecture strives to unify space, to blend interiors and exteriors, and create a harmonic built environment that is not separate or dominant from nature but part of a unified whole.

Ex

:

Among the many famous structures Wright designed, two of the most celebrated are:

•Fallingwater - Wright's most famous work, it uses natural stone and an existing mountain stream to blend habitation and nature.

While Sullivan believed that "form follows function," Wright argued that "form and function are one.“

• The structure must therefore be designed as if it was molded by nature for and from that landscape.

• Likewise, the color scheme must derive from fields and woods to match the elements of nature.

Another key component of this architectural style is simplicity.

Open spaces are valued as the amount of rooms is reduced.

Satellite House Complex

Mexico 1995

•Architects:JavierSenosiain

•Location:StateofMexico,Mexico

•Topics:OrganicArchitecture,Color Architecture

•Type:Houses

•ProjectYear:1995

Organic Architecture is not a style of imitation, but rather, a reinterpretation of Nature's principles to build forms more natural than nature itself.

• This small complex of four houses is located in Ciudad Satellite, on the outskirts of Mexico City.

• The inclination of the lot, which rises approximately 1.5 meters above street level, was used to bury the units partially.

• As one approaches the complex, an undulating façade resembling two eagles with outspread wings seems to envelop the four pedestrian entrances.

Followed the rule :

• No Straight Line

• No plane texture

Lots of use of Natural vegtation , flora & Green cover ( to make it feel as if naturally made )

Partially Underground

Interiors with hard texture , the round shape of the structure represents organic architecture

The units of the house that buried partially in under ground.
