    Understanding Organic Architecture: Harmonizing Structure with Nature

    Organic architecture, a term popularized by the legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright, advocates for designs that harmonize buildings with their environment, ensuring structures not only respect but also become one with their natural surroundings. At its core, organic architecture seeks to create a symbiotic relationship between human habitation and the natural world. Wright's vision was not about imitating nature's forms but rather about understanding the principles that govern the natural world and integrating them into design and construction. This philosophy is predicated on the belief that every building should grow naturally from its environment, with consideration for the site, materials, and purpose, to achieve a harmonious and integrated result.

    "Nanotecture" design of Small Spaces into Multifunctional and Versatile Environments

    Dear readers of this Community! Here are Catherine and Francisco, founding architects of Estudio D.E.B and teachers of Domestika. We stopped by to share with you one of the most avant-garde trends in architecture: Nanotecture or small-scale architecture. This is a discipline that refers to the creation of architectural structures and spaces that are remarkably compact, space efficient and often highly specialized in their function. These works challenge the conventions of conventional architecture by operating in much smaller dimensions, but at the same time maintain a focus on design quality and spatial experience. Small-scale architecture is often distinguished by its ability to maximize functionality and aesthetics in a limited space, offering innovative solutions to problems of housing, work, recreation or any other specific user need.
