Encyclopedic overview
Fallingwater by Frank Lloyd Wright Försters Weinterrassen by Udo Heimermann, Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler (2000) Organic architecture is a philosophy of architecture which promotes harmony between human habitation and the natural world. This is achieved through design approaches that aim to be sympathetic and well-integrated with a site, so buildings, furnishings, and surroundings become part of a unified, interrelated composition.
