The organic modern designLet the design:• be inspired by nature

and be sustainable, healthy, conserving, and diverse.

• unfold, like an organism, from the seed within.

• exist in the "continuous present" and "begin again and again".

• follow the flows and be flexible and adaptable.

• satisfy social, physical, and spiritual needs.

• "grow out of the site" and be unique.

• celebrate the spirit of youth, play and surprise.

• express the rhythm of music and the power of dance.

Mr. Wright’s greatest building

“metropolitan museum of art looked as if it is a protestant barn”

21 artists signed a letter protesting the display of their work in such a space
