Biomorphism (other names — inorganic style, zoomorphism) originated in the early twentieth
century thanks to the architect Frank Lloyd Wright. This concept is formed from the Union of two
Greek words: bios(BIOS, life) and morphe (form).

3.

Origin:
Europe, early twentieth century.
Periods of manifestation:
1. Originated in the art Nouveau style in the early XX century.
2. The style was revived in the 1940s at the Cranbrook Academy of
arts.
3. The most popular biomorphism was in the 1950s.
4. In the 1990s, "organic design" reappeared along with its stylistic
offshoot-biomorphism.

4.

Main features:
1. Creating the most comfortable human environment.
2. Organic combination of the building and the surrounding nature.
3. Imitation of natural forms.
4. Materials - mostly natural, but at the same time it is important to use new technologies and materials (in particular
plastic).
5.Preservation of the environment and development of cities "green belt" ("green belt" - a protective frame of plantations
and natural forests around the cities).

5.

Biomorphism implies complete objects of smooth, natural forms,
made of high-tech materials.

Color scheme
preference is given to green, brown, beige and white colors

Proponent of the idea of continuity of architectural space, Frank Lloyd Wright, proposed to draw a line under the
tradition of deliberate allocation of the building and its components from the outside world. In his opinion, the
shape of the building should each time follow from its specific purpose and the unique environmental conditions in
which it is built and exists. Wright gained popularity through the creation of the Prairie House style, which he actively
used in 1900-1917. This style combines nature and building.

A characteristic feature of the "houses of the prairies" are horizontal rows of sash Windows and
sloping roofs, slightly overhanging the walls. Wright refuses to architectural symmetry, the plan
acquires an asymmetric shape and free shape. Also occur refusal of loft and a regular flat ceiling,
increasing in this way the volume of the living room; the refusal of the basement, Wright puts the
building on a concrete slab, laid on a concrete pad, eliminating thereby the basement and
Foundation.

Friedensreich
Hundertwasser.
As the main symbol for his work
Hundertwasser chose a snail, slowly
crawling on a grape leaf with his spiral
house. The concept of Friedensreich was
precisely in the unity of the monastery
and the inhabitant, so that the snail
perfectly fit into this context and
personified the views of the artist: his
love for curved lines, nature and
uniqueness. Spiral in General has become
the most popular story in the work of
Friedrich, and straight lines and angles, he
believed the main culprits of the lack of
harmony.

His creations, which do not have the same Windows, with trees in the middle of the rooms, "live"
roofs and uneven lines — are easily recognizable. A special place in the work of Hundertwasser
takes a window. In his opinion, houses consist not of walls, but of Windows which "have to
dance", instead of"to go in a row, a system".

Zaha Hadid is a famous British architect of Arab origin, whose amazing and incredible works have become
famous all over the world. She was not interested in right angles and shapes, she was inspired by smooth
lines and natural silhouettes.

This awesome architectural Zaha Hadid Architect's project is located in Baku, capital of Azerbaijan.
Construction of The Heydar Aliyev Cultural Center . The cultural center includes a conference
center, museum, exhibition halls, offices.
The Center houses a conference hall (auditorium), a gallery hall and a museum. The project is
intended to play an integral role in the intellectual life of the city.

The Galaxy SOHO complex in Beijing "without corners" - the
concept developed by Zaha Hadid Architects .
The courtyard plays an important role as a space connecting
the interior and the environment.
