Organic Architecture: Nature's Design Process
X400.9 (1 semester unit in Architecture)
Often referred to as the "American School" of architecture, organic architecture is a living tradition that first came into recognition with the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. It transcends repeating forms and elements and suggests a process of design similar to the process found in nature. As a philosophy, it has evolved today into a movement that not only embraces sustainability, but sacred geometry, natural forms, and creative solutions to architectural problems.
