Dan Duckham Architect

“Organic architecture is the natural result of the orderly growth of an idea from intuition to fulfillment.” “Organic architecture is life in search for a sense of its own beauty and order.” “Cohesiveness is perceived when all elements are articulate, logical and intelligible.” “Intuition is like a seed that contains within it all the information necessary for the flowering of an idea.” “My function is to act as an interpreter. I translate from one language to another……the language of organic architecture.” “Styles and preconceptions are enemies to organic architecture, like starting at the end…..Common sense would recommend starting at the beginning.” “There is no separation between interior and exterior as they are conceived together. Interior space and exterior form are one, like the inside and the outside of a glass.” “Order, clarity and harmony are the goals…..The look of the architecture is a product of the individual uniqueness of the client..” “Abstraction in architecture reveals the subjective spirit which is the promise of organic creativity.” “I am not too interested in architectural styles. I believe it’s more meaningful for architecture to
have style.” “Architectural styles come and go, but an architecture that is organic can be timeless.” “The real sense for the enjoyment of organic architecture is neither vision nor memory…..but everyday living.”
