Organic design
Organic design is the interest in the natural forms of
nature . Being inspired from the first designer that ever existed nature
itself. Designers and architects observed nature to create their ideas and
design from different elements like water, bones, trees all the natural forms
that nature created. Organic design started In the 1930 till 1960and still
continues to inspire many designers till this day. From my point of view
organic design is the most influential design that we can ever have, we have everything
we need to create anything we want by only observing well enough. I my self was
inspired from nature in last years final major project at school. I designed a lamp,
which was inspired from different kind of floral patterns and flowers .In the
final result I was really pleased with what I did. Not to focus on myself I want
to start from the beginning of the word organic design .
The word Organic was first introduced from one of the most
famous architecture designer Frank Lloyd Wright in the early 19th
centaury as another extension of
teaching and other idea of observing. He didn’t describe the word organic to
focus on the characteristics of plants and animals but the way to use nature as
the building blocks of design. Organic design using the relation ship with
different materials and eventually harmonized into something original.
Through out his career he gave many lectures about organic
design and architecture. he wanted to explain that the architecture has to be
blended with it surrounding area like a marriage with the structure and
surrounding elements which you can clearly see in one of his famous
architectural works the Falling water house or villa . The house itself has a
natural river going through it and some of the floorings still has the natural
form of rock showing .The house showed many examples on home organic
architecture is explained and being built in the 1930’s it is one of the most
inspirational works of Frank. Also considered as one of the greatest master
pieces of Frank.
Below is a small quotation of frank Lloyd Wright about
Organic Architecture .
“So here I stand before you preaching organic architecture:
declaring organic architecture to be the modern ideal and the teaching so much
needed if we are to see the whole of life, and to now serve the whole of life,
holding no ‘traditions’ essential to the great TRADITION. Nor cherishing any
preconceived form fixing upon us either past, present or future,
but—instead—exalting the simple laws of common sense—or of super-sense if you
prefer—determining form by way of the nature of materials...”
Not to focus on architecture Organic design influenced a lot of
designers like Ross Lovegrove which he is the creator of the Go Chair .Many say
that the chair is the the perfect example of organic design it was mainly
inspired from the skull of a bear. design of the chair really inters me it looks futuristic yet
organic and original.
Talking about futuristic another famous designer Verner Panton
which he designed the famous S chair another perfect of organic design. Organic
designs are still being created today and will continue to inspire many
designers in the generations to come Reference :
