Master Organic Architecture Starting From Zero Skills | All Organic Architecture Concepts Explained

In this lecture we will be discussing organic architecture and what you need to do in order to get results with organic architecture sketching and design. Be sure to take notes and sketch along!
Here's a summary:

1. The 5 types of buildings we are going to study
We can look at organic architecture as a complete my abstractised phenomenon where every building I unique and just an expression of organic architecture. Or we can see all the different subtle principles and patterns which help us visually break down and understand why the final image looks good.
There are 5 types of designs we are going to be looking at.
a. ‘Regular’ Organic Buildings
Obvious visual language specific to this architecture style.
You can experiment with different organic visual language.
At this stage, do not worry about being right or wrong, just get your ideas out there.
b. Small scale pavilions
These need to be simpler because they are small buildings, hence need an easy to read visual style.
c. Large scale futuristic buildings
You can go for really weird, edgy, futuristic designs because of the scale (towers, floating cities, office buildings)
d. Blob Architecture
Contrast between the organic architecture and how it interacts with the surroundings.
e. Organic Design
Inspired by nature, look at plants, fruit, invertebrate animals.

2. How to understand natural concepts so you can use them for your organic architecture sketches
Understanding and integrating nature is one of the first things that come to mind when we think of organic, ‘inspired from nature etc’

3. How to feel and understand scale
Feeling/understanding scale is important in all architecture, in this case we are talking about architectural objects which can very easily be hard to read in terms of scale.
4. The three principles of how to draw and design Organic Architecture
a. Mark the entrance
b. One material + glass
c. Make the composition look like a volumetric intersection.

5. Top architects and organic architecture references
There are several famous architects who’s work really defined the style of organic architecture.

6. How not to make these buildings look weird
The main sticking point you will have when it comes to organic architecture sketching isn’t the fact that you will get intimidated or get writer’s block and not be able to produce anything. You will get past all of that and you will eventually start sketching… but the end result will look WEIRD!
So, your buildings needs to tick the three essentials as they are definted by Vitruvius
we will be looking at the firmitas, utilitas, venustas principles of vitruvius
firmitas – structure, how the buildings stands
utilitas – utility, what happens on the inside of the building
venustas – the visual form, how it looks

7. How to use inspiration for your work
Sometimes inspiration is what you need. This is very different than the theory
As a last resort, if everything goes bad and all your sketches are a complete mess, well you can use inspiration to get you trying again.
Inspiration is an emotion, you look at something and you feel something about it.
Inspiration from nature
Have a look at the theory behind natural shapes again.
