Organic architecture seeks superior sense of use and a finer sense of comfort, expressed in organic simplicity.
Grace is the beauty of form under the influence of freedom.
The most general law in nature is equity-the principle of balance and symmetry which guides the growth of forms along the lines of the greatest structural efficiency.
The essence of the beautiful is unity in variety.
So what we have tried to do in our later buildings is to try to be completely consistent, as a painter is consistent or as a sculptor is consistent. Architecture also must be very consistent.
Many attempts have been made by writers on art and poetry to define beauty in the abstract, to express it in the most general terms, to find some universal formula for it.
Do poets have any insight into what's the right ratio? I doubt it, but I think that they can be awake to what the ends are.
