In this study, Wright's organic theory provides such a path to reclaim this beauty. Tracing the evolution of Wright's concept of organic architecture, author Kenneth Dahlin explores Wright's 'middle way'-a route mediating between traditional historical precedents and today's novelty-driven architectural culture, often detached from deeper notions of harmony and beauty. Chapters explore Wright's romanticist roots in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the House Beautiful movement, the centrality of Japanese aesthetics, and his concept of the integrated whole.
