Director's note

Shoot from within the landscape rather than from the building looking out organic architecture's whole argument is integration, which reads more convincingly from a vantage point that treats the building as part of the terrain rather than the terrain as a backdrop

A house that grew out of its site instead of being placed on it.

Shoot from within the landscape rather than from the building looking out organic architecture's whole argument is integration, which reads more convincingly from a vantage point that treats the building as part of the terrain rather than the terrain as a backdrop
