Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 12 page report discusses the similarities between the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright and the architecture of Japan. Wright's most essential concepts were of comfort and livability, open and interesting spaces and plenty of natural light, as well as a conscious integration of the natural elements that are elemental to the human organism. Innovation, incorporation, and 'flow' are not just part of Japanese architecture but of Japan itself. Colors, shapes, even its pattern of light and darkness reflect an innate interconnectedness with nature in the designs of Wright as much as in Japanese design. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

also superimposed in what first appears to be a relatively simple structure that just happens to incorporated "falling water" as part of its overall design. Fallingwater is one of the
most indicative of Wrights ability to see structure where others saw only nature and nature where others want to simply build a building. It also serves as an illustration
of the similarities between Wrights ideas and those of Japanese architecture. Wrights greater vision of "organic design" echoes that of Japanese design that incorporates nature as part of its design
theme while blending with nature with human life. With an awareness of Wrights commitment to such organic process and development, one can see
it as it is manifested in the sweep of a roof, a terraced room, or his use of innovative technologies. Reflected, but never copied, the same flow of growth
and natural setting is a part of each of his structures. An "organic" space, whether to be used as a home, a gallery, an office complex, or a place
