Unit 3 Green Movement in Architecture
The text in this unit will show that architecture, although an engineering science, carries with it a strong awareness of humanity and deep respect for the human race, the nature, the environment, and the culture humans have developed. More importantly, it is an expression and record of life. We may get something from it: it’s the philosophy you hold on to that will make you achieve.
Some well-known examples of architectures insipred by the nature:

The Sydney Opera House, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site
The Sydney Opera House constitutes a masterpiece of 20th century architecture. Its significance is based on its unparalleled design and construction; its exceptional engineering achievements and technological innovation and its position as a world-famous icon of architecture.

Guggenheim Museum, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, in New York City.
An enormous white cylindrical building spiraling upward into a Plexiglass dome, the museum consists of a single gallery along a ramp that coils up from the ground floor. While Lloyd's design was highly controversial at the time, it is now revered as one of New York City's finest buildings.

Fallingwater, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 and completed in 1937; near Mill Run, southwestern Pennsylvania.
This 1930s home was described as “one of the great blessings to be experienced here on earth.” Inspired by the architect’s desire to integrate human-made structures into the natural world, Fallingwater typifies organic architecture.
