ANTICLASSICSM AND THE CREATION OF ORGANIC ARCHITECTURE

Summary/Abstract: At the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, no architectural work could be connected with the ideas and ideals of the people. Fashion and style were not associated with technological developments in construction. After the Industrial Revolution and technological achievements, an era of new constructive elements, materials and ways of construction began. The way out of classicism and the development of American architecture was created by a group of American architects, designers, writers, and lecturers. Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Sullivan and Henry Hobson Richardson exerted the greatest influence on the development of American architecture and thus created a way out of classicism. They believed the design of structures that were in harmony with human nature and the environment, and thus a new philosophy was created, which they called organic architecture.
