Architect Frank Lloyd Wright designed buildings he called "organic architecture," intended to harmonize with their surroundings rather than impose abstract forms upon them. His house Fallingwater extends over a waterfall, with cantilevered terraces echoing the rock ledges of the site. The home's interior incorporates exposed natural stone and views framed to direct attention outward toward the landscape.
Which choice most logically completes the text? The passage suggests that for Wright, the relationship between a building and its site was _______
- A
an obstacle to be minimized in the final design
- Bcheck_circle
central to design, shaping form and interior alike
- C
incidental, with sites chosen primarily for convenience
- D
important only when the site contained dramatic features
Explanation
Cantilevers echoing ledges, exposed stone, and outward-framed views all reflect site-driven design, supporting B. A and C contradict "organic"; D overgeneralizes from one example.
