Organic architecture inspires issue 60 of Homeworks out on Sunday.

In their instinct to survive, humans act as creatures of habit. American Architect Frank Lloyd Wright responded to this dilemma with an exploration of organic architecture.

The philosophy behind the architecture is the promotion of harmony between human habitation and the natural world through design. The aim is to integrate a building with its surrounding so well that the result is an interrelated, unified composition.

The latest issue of Homeworks explores the different aspects of organic as it relates to the home; from design to materials.

All three homes featured in the issue are fine examples of an organic approach and the features all tie in through materials, locations or concepts. The edition begins with an example of organic architecture that merges the indoors with the outdoors through the use of striking natural materials.

Homeworks also features a renovation project in San Pawl Tat-Tarġa and an interior designer designs a three-bedroom apartment in San Ġwann that accommodates the homeowners’ budget through clever use of different textures and materials.

Further contributing to the organic theme, an article on Frank Lloyd Wright explores the notion of organic architecture in depth.

Homeworks is distributed free with The Sunday Times.
