라이트의 유기적 단순성과 상자의 파괴 유형에 대한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze Frank Lloyd Wright’s “Organic Simplicity” through examining his early prairie houses. Wright’s architectural concept which started from “Simplicity” was ultimately to create organic spaces. In order to achieve Organic Simplicity which means a structure that became a form, the notions of Plasticity and Continuity were applied. They were realized with the development of the structural materials. Wright who regarded space more importantly than matter tried to destroy the conventional box in order to make organic spaces to be the part of the nature. The wall-as-screen which was made by destroying the corner allowed the horizontal expansion. There were two ways for the box to be destroyed: grafting and overlapping. With wall-as-screen, overlapped spaces became empty and integrated into a single space
