frank lloyd wright Harmonization with Nature Harmonization with nature, An introduction. In this poster we give a little insight in the way F.L. Wright incorporates nature in his buildings, the way F.L. Wright himself referred to his way of thinking like ‘’Nature spelled with a capital N the way you can walk around the house in a continue flow without retracing, much like the cycles of the seasons he is always looking for harmony and balance. Early in his life he came to live on a farm where he spell God with a capital G’’ And further maintained that ‘’Nature is all body of God we will ever or like the cycle of life. The use of natural materials throughout the buildings in and outside is typical discovered the beauty of nature, he would try to keep connected with this nature for the rest of his know.’’ One way to achieve this harmonization is to use basic forms like in nature, even the most for most of his work and come to a climax in Falling Waters where the rocks are integrated in the life. We show how he found ways to harmonize his buildings with the nature which surrounds them. complex structure is composed out of simple forms. Natural cycles are found in the continuity, one structure and form a tactile element in the living room.
