| Summary: |
"Organic Architecture: The Other Modernism illuminates the broad brush stroke of Organic residential architecture throughout the panorama of twentieth-century Modernism. A wide-ranging style that defies definition, Organic buildings are notable in their curves and colors, as well as their exuberant, opulent, and at times extravagant complexity of line, form, texture, structure, and color. Organized chronologically, beginning in 1880 and ending with the present, each chapter explores the contributions of Organic architects in depth. With riveting historical context, including the movement's foundation, evolution, and major events, noted author Alan Hess shows why the organic movement has remained a strong, deep-running current in culture and design. Some key Organic architects explored in this book include: Louis Sullivan Frank Furness Frank Lloyd Wright Bruce Goff Charles Haertling John Lautner Walter Burley Griffin Mickey Muennig R.M.
