One of the theories or concepts of modern architecture is 'organic architecture'. The pioneer of this theory is an American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. He first used the term 'organic architecture' when discussing architecture that suits the environment.Architectural critics believe that he arrived at this concept through his mentor Louis Sullivan, who believed in the principle of 'form follows function' in architecture. They also believe that Thoreau's thinking on Transcendentalism played a significant role in helping him reach this concept.
Frank Lloyd Wright's thinking on organic architecture is an important concept in modern architecture, just as he firmly believed in the principle of 'form follows function'.
