Organic Design- 1930-1950

Organic Design- 1930-1950

The organic design is a 20th century trend which is basically in the architecture which it was practically during the 1930’s 1940’s and also 1950’s. the goal of the organic architecture was the building where we can see that the form were dictated by the function and also by the circumventions, where we can see that to make the design for the architecture they were inspired from the nature. The concept of the organic architecture was  first formulated in the 1880’s which was done by an American  architect. Sullivan who he  was  mostly influenced by the  evaluation of  the  theory  in  biology. As we mostly know concept  will  then be developed in the theoretical works and also designs of one of Sullivan’s protégés Frank Llyod Right who his goal for  the  design  was  the  engenderment of uninterrupted architecture space, where suppose the  division of  the  space into  separate components which were  typical of  the  more  tradition architecture . First designs that have be embody this principle where his prairie house ( Willits House in the  Highland Park, 1902 , Robie House in Chicago in the 1909) wright sensitivity was to the categorical properties of  the natural materials which was coalesced with the romantic posture toward the natural landscape, where the building also was to be inseparable part. At that same time Wright abnegated some simple mimicry of the nature.

 We can see  also  that  the organic architecture  has  become one  of  the  more  widespread trends in the  contemporary architects and also in the contrast to the  technology which  was  oriented extremes of  the  functionalism that  occurred  in the mid- 1930’s.


Influenced by the organic architecture were  the regional architectural schools that were developed in the  Scandinavian design for  example  the designs of Alvar Aaltot. We also can see that in the United States, the California school of architects where led by  R. Neutra where applied  the  organic  principles.  The organic architecture by time it was being popular and was also being paralleled by the widespread of  the  abnegation of  the  functionalism. An Italian architect who was B.Zevi has adopted the theory of the organic architecture in the 1940’s. During the 1945 the sodality of the Organic Architecture was founded  in Rome.  

The organic architecture kineticism as a whole which was ideologically discombobulated. It also is cumulating the principle that remained wright’s personal ascendancy. The movement which were abstractly humanistic ideas led it away from the exigent  of the  convivial quandaries that have  confront the architecture. It has also accentuation in individualism where  that led  to the  repudiation  of the  standardized and  also to the  industrial  buildings  techniques.

 Here we can see some  organic designs  where  the  chair  is  a  contemporary  design that have  been  inspired  from the  organic design where  I compared  this  design with the  building of  Frank Llyod  Wright
