Organic architecture is a philosophy of architecture which promotes harmony between human habitation and the natural world.

New Organic Architecture is a manifesto for building in a way that is both aesthetically pleasing and kinder to the environment. It illuminates key themes of organic architects, their sources of inspiration, the roots and concepts behind the style, and the environmental challenges to be met. The organic approach to architecture has an illustrious history, from Celtic design, Art Nouveau, Arts and Crafts, to the work of Antoni Gaudí and Frank Lloyd Wright. Today there is a response to a new age of information and ecology; architects are seeking to change the relationship between buildings and the natural environment. In the first part of his book, David Pearson provides a history and assessment of organic architecture. The second part comprises statements from thirty architects from around the world whose work is based on natural or curvilinear forms rather than the straight-line geometrics of modernism. Each statement is accompanied by full-color illustrations of one or several of the architects' built projects.

  • The images in this book are spectacular and imaginative. I haven't got around to reading it, but I don't feel the need. I can just look at the images and be mesmerized !

  • Well, 1st of all, this is a beautiful and amazing compendium of range and depth of an international movement flowing over our globe, the organic school of architecture. That, for many; lived only in the hearts and lives of Frank Lloyd Wright and Bruce Goff, the precursors to this movement. David Pearson's coverage is monumental, one of the most diverse and broadly scoped visions capturing many of the finest; not all, but many from around the world. To include everyone would have been a volume so massive, the thought of merely lifting it would have been staggering. People so often forget, that an organic architect still needs a voliatile, creative and compassionate client base in order to bring this ideas into fruition. Sadly, that, more than creative designers are lacking in our conscious world. This is one of the best publications in print displaying the range of perception in organic architecture today, and sits alongside the volume of Alan Hess's Hyperwest, not specifically an organicist besed volume.

  • While the contents are above average, but most of the photos were grainy and old. For books that is visually related it is a big disappointment.

  • What I liked about this book is that it has introduced me to some new architects that I have not heard about previously in any other of the many books I have read.
    What I don't like about this book is that it shows very little of each architects projects and some of the photo's where done using a very poor resolution camera, making for some very grainy pictures.
    If your interested in the organic style of architecture then I would recommend adding it to your library. There is some very original stuff inside this book that just might spark some new ideas in your own practice.

  • It is very difficult to find books or articles regading organic architecture. The David's book is very complete and update. The research to find World wide examples is a great source of inspiration and understanding.

  • Some of the 28 architects who have contributed to this stimulating anthology might be surprised by the company they are in, which ranges from the cool rationalism of Tadao Ando to the romantic nationalism of Imre Makovecz. However, the eclecticism of Pearson's choice is justified, for organic architecture has always been the province of defiant individualists, from Wright on. Sensuous curves and fractal geometries, primitive and sophisticated technologies, earth and steel are all embraced by architects united only by their desire to break out of the box. Pearson emphasizes the spiritual dimensions and the affinities between natural and man-made forms, as well as the feminine side of design-though only one woman shows up on his list.

  • A good book with nice graphic design and layout. A lot of pictures. Cover a lot organic architects although I miss buildings from e.g. Peter Vetch and other sculptured architecture with architecture. Easy to read but don't give deep insights.
