organica

It may not be all that difficult to fathom why organic architecture—a mostly asymptotic process—failed to produce anything close to a design method, or propose a substantial contribution to architectural theory, where it was never inducted. The emerging observation of organica points precisely to the missed approaches that proliferated in an effort to perpetuate a master vision. The overwhelming majority of Wrightian followers failed to advance the architecture that prompted them and often trivialized its very serious foundations. Wright, who argued most extensively in favor of a widespread organic architecture, used enthymematic rhetoric at best, laden with implicit pointers, and prompted his followers to draw their own conclusions. Even to the readers of his writings he advised to “read between the lines.” Relentlessly focused on what lied ahead, Wright recorded little interest in reconstructing his process in vitro. There may be merit to suggest that Wright was being purposely vague about his method when he kept urging his acolytes to his mother source, “N”ature. Whether he trusted that his students would draw out worthy design from their forays into nature remains a mystery. However, Wright did mention in one of his Sunday talks that it will likely be the next generations those who, free of the disadvantage of knowing him personally, will be better positioned to advance the organic philosophy and evolve the architecture he started.

A FULL-CG animated piece (this means everything you see is done on a computer, no matter how “real” it looks) that tries to illustrate architecture art across a photographic point of view where main subjects are already-built spaces. Sometimes in an abstract way. Sometimes surreal.
