Organic architecture, that is,
natural architecture, may be varied in concept and form, but
it is always faithful to principle. Organic architecture
rejects rules imposed by individual preference or mere
aesthetics in order to remain true to the nature of the site,
the materials, the purpose of the structure, and the people
who will ultimately use it. If this natural principle is
upheld, then a bank cannot be built to look like a Greek
temple. Form does not follow function; form is inseparable
from function. |
