AUTHOR: FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT
Based on the article that written by Frank Lloyd Wright, he had mentioned some issues regarding to
the importance of nature in architecture which saying "there is no source so fertile, so suggestive, and
so helpful aesthetically for the architect as a comprehension of natural law." I agreed with his statement
on clearly using the nature to be our guideline in designing for nowadays architecture that express the
sense of organic other than adhere the earlier practice without concerning on the landscape of the
building, site and users. Through the following propositions that he said, he emphasizes on building to
be appeared harmoniously with its surrounding and using the origin scheme of nature materials to
expose into the design. He even explained the Prairie style architecture that build with organic design
method. Therefore, architecture to be designed in an “organic” way could express the truly essence of
architecture being combined with nature.
As the world nowadays is getting polluted by human activities, Malaysia’s architects take seriously
concern on designing an architecture that could well integrated with its landscape and become part of
the site structure which could be inspired by the philosophy of Frank Lloyd Wright that encourage the
harmony between human living and natural world. In my opinion, I would totally encourage the term of
being sustainable to environment as it would help to reduce the man-made pollution of the surrounding
while saving the energy efficiently through an architecture. For example, the S11 house which built in
suburb Petaling Jaya that adapt well with the site and using major of sustainable design principles
which achieved as the highest level Platinum rating of Malaysia’s Green Building Index (GBI).
To be concluded that "the future work shall grow more truly simple; more expressive with fewer lines;
fewer forms; more articulate with less labour; more plastic; more fluent, although more coherent; more
organic." said by Frank Lloyd Wright was to make sure the architecture to be treated in high rank of
worthy without affecting to the atmosphere surrounding and shall idealized more environmentally
friendly to the nature by adapting into it especially for nowadays era.
