Materials - Studio Tasks (Week 10)

Ten textures that relate to my idea.

Frank Lloyd Wright > Fallingwater > Organic Architecture > Ecological + Individual > Nature > Organism.

Refining this task into smaller things, the essence of my work would be from Wright's ideas of Organic Architecture. Where Organic Architecture was defined as a way that promotes harmony between human habitation and the natural world through design approaches so sympathetic and well integrated with its site that buildings, furnishing, and surroundings become part of a unified, interrelated composition.

So using ecological yet individual materials that reflect nature and life. Materials would be various types of stone, wood, brick, ceramics, glass. Keeping to the origins of Fallingwater, being built partly over a waterfall on Bear Run in the Laurel Highlands of the Allegheny Mountains. The natural colours surrounding the architecture are cool pale yellows, cool greens, and the clear colour of the waterfall running beneath it.

My re-invention of my architecture would consist of the colours of pale yellow, the greys of the stone, white, some browns and clear glass.
