Frank Lloyd Wright's own 1959 death is a candidate marker for the classic phase, but the philosophy itself is documented as continuing among later architects, so no single end year is supported by the source.What would resolve this A conductor or taxonomy decision on whether an ongoing design philosophy like Organic Architecture should carry an end-year core key at all, or whether the key should be understood as not-applicable for a living philosophy with no closing event, distinct from a movement whose end is merely debated among several candidate years.OpenArchitectural History / TaxonomyWikipediaCross-Tradition ConnectionsQuestion OnOrganic Architecture, Movements Well-attested Source Wikipediatier 2SourcesWikipediatier 2Wikimedia FoundationOrganic architecture, Wikipedia, Contemporary creations sectionView the SourceComments (0)No comments yet.
