New Organic Architecture

The Breaking Wave

David Pearson


Lutheran Church, Si¬ófok, Hungary, by Imre Makovecz.
"Organic architecture strives to connect the parts of the building which are nearest to the earth ˆê the foundations of the walls in particular ˆê closely to the earth. It also strives to construct them from materials which have been extracted from the earth itself. The upper structures should be light, as if heaven were descending upon the earth." Imre Makovecz
