Organic Architecture

“So here I stand before you preaching organic architecture: declaring organic architecture to be the modern ideal and the teaching so much needed if we are to see the whole of life, and to now serve the whole of life, holding no ‘traditions’ essential to the great TRADITION. Nor cherishing any preconceived form fixing upon us either past, present or future, but—instead—exalting the simple laws of common sense—or of super-sense if you prefer—determining form by way of the nature of materials...”
— Frank Lloyd Wright, An Organic Architecture, 1939

Chayo Frank of Wildstyle, Inc. created this freeform, exotic piece that Tomas would heartily approve of. For more information on Frank's work, see the links page.

Dan C. Duckham's Janoura house, done in 1983 encompasses the organic design but would have too many straight lines for Tomas.

Bruce Goff, considered a pioneer in organic architecture, taught architecture in Oklahoma. This is his Bavinger house.

Schweizer house, 1998, by Swiss architect Peter Vetsch, who works in sprayed concrete, is probably the closest to what Tomas' house in the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York will look like when finished.

Hohlenhaus, one more work by Peter Vetsch.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie house from Oak Park, Illinois, built in 1908-10. Louis Sullivan, Wright's mentor, and Wright are considered the pioneers of organic architecture, based on Sullivan's principle of "form follows function.".
