Connecting the old and the new when it comes to structures is something architects and contractors have to manage all the time; how to make the new fit with the original without it jarring or looking out of place. Sometimes the best approach is to match what's there, and at other times to take advantage of the contrast. This is well demonstrated in this case study. A new teaching block at Dene Magna School is connected to the original with Spaceshade covered walkways, which contrast well with the existing canopy. https://lnkd.in/e8n4D6GZ

Frank Lloyd Wright change the phrase "From Follow Function" to "Form and Function area One" by using nature as the best example of its integration. The Famous FLW Organic Architecture base on reinterpretation of nature’s principles as they had been filtered through the intelligent minds of men and women who could then build forms which are more natural than nature itself. Organic Architecture involves a respect for the properties of the materials, and a respect for the harmonious relationship between the form/design and the function of the building. Organic architecture is also an attempt to integrate the spaces into a coherent whole: a marriage between the site and the structure and an union between the context and the structure. The Falling Water House designed by FLW is the best example of his Organic Architecture. This is one of the iconic buildings of modern architecture history, in my opinion. https://lnkd.in/gBrsKK2A
