Frank Wright provides the target readers information about his promotion of ORGANIC ARCHITECTURE. Also he wants to make more understandable the sologan ‘ FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION ‘ . He thinks that walls, ceilings, floors of buildings should not separate from each other. In other word, he regards all of components as a whole in buildings.
Wright emphasizes the word ‘ CONTINUITY ‘ for many times in his article. The reason why he repeats the same word ‘ CONTINUITY ‘ in reading is that his ideas about ORGANIC ARCHITECTURE are completely based on meaning of continuity. According to him, all of the components of a building such as walls, floors etc. should be approprite in terms of integrity and also those components should merge. Every part of a building should flow into each other.
In addition, he refers to relation between outside and inside. In terms of this relation, form and function become one design, entirely a whole together. In last decades, form and function were considered things following each other. However, Frank Wright mentions that they ( form and function ) emerge together and he applies this idea to his buildings such as Fallingwater House in Pennsylvania, Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, Millard House ( also known as La Miniatura ) in California etc.
Finally, Frank Lloyd Wright initiated to new perception called ‘ ORGANIC ARCHITECTURE ‘ and he really accomplished via his buildings.
