Abstract
The purpose of this study is to argue the works of Le Corbusier, Venturi, and Lynn in an organic point of view to find what makes their works very impressive and aggressive in architectural history. It is important for architects to see the relationship between machines and organism, because of their inherent interest in structure. Although Le Corbusier, Venturi, and Lynn imply organic thought in different ways, organic thought played a decisive role for all of them. The most distinguished characteristic of organism is an inseparable organization on the whole. Organic thought has played an important role in architecture inspiring new ways of designing and organizing all elements involved.
