Wright Design Series: A Journey in the Organic: An Architect’s Work and Reflections

What began as an intuitive love of natural and organic architecture became a quest to understand its theoretical foundations, encouraging him eventually to apply the rigor of obtaining a PhD in architecture to help define \u201corganic architecture\u201d and apply it in his work. This presentation will showcase examples of Ken\u2019s projects over the years, along with his reflections on organic architecture, some misconceptions in it, and a path forward in the continuation of the organic."]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"Dahlin is the founder of Genesis Architecture in Racine, Wisconsin specializing in Wright-inspired architecture.
