| Summary: | To survey the work of Mexican architect Javier Senosiain requires a journey through a particular trajectory in the history of architecture, from Frank Lloyd Wright and Bruno Zevi to Alvar Aalto, Eero Saarinen and Jørn Utzon. These pioneers of organic modernism faced the twentieth century's mechanistic, functionalistic and rationalistic proposals with a vision that sought to revive an organic relationship between humans and their environments. Senosiain's concept of 'Organic Architecture' follows in this tradition. Throughout his career, his work has explored the relations between user, site and architecture in spaces that echo natural forms and conditions. |
