Organic Architecture is an architectural style and design philosophy that prioritizes harmony between human habitation and the natural world. It emphasizes the use of natural materials, simple forms, and a connection to the surrounding environment. It also seeks to create buildings that are in sympathy with their surroundings and reflect the essence of the landscape and local culture. Organic Architecture is often associated with the works of Frank Lloyd Wright, who is considered one of its pioneers.
