Abstract: Organic architecture has the potential to be an innovative approach that intersects architecture, biology, engineering, computation and it refers to organisms primarily in nature to illustrate its origin and concept. Thus, throughout history, humans have turned to nature for solutions to their problems. By studying organisms as a source of inspiration, humans have sought to understand their remarkable feats and methods of sustenance. In the realm of architecture and design, this research argues that buildings should emulate living organisms, adapting to the ever-changing conditions of nature. Through a meticulous examination of nature's laws and an exploration of the organic approach, this research aims to reinvigorate the concept of OA as a living organism. In the history of architecture, emergent styles were often supported by new theories of form and function. The concept of OA always defines a new form. The whole theory of OA 1 is form based contemporary organic architecture without going into essence and organic form is targetable every time. Organic forms shouldn’t be static images of nature rather they should be living enough and express like organisms. Organic form is creative and originates from poetics in nature (Bunjak & Tykwer, 2016).The study begins by searching into the fundamental concepts of OA and its connection to organisms of nature, as well as an assessment of the work and philosophy of pioneers like Frank Lloyd Wright. Addressing the concept of organic architecture, Wright refers to organisms in nature (Laseau & Tice, 1992). Thus, study underlines organisms' inherent organic quality to grow and integrate into their environment, creating a harmonious whole. In particular, Organic growth can be comprehended by focusing on the phenomena observed within organic spaces, which emerge through holistic organic approach of the System of nature. These spaces exemplify the principles of OA, showcasing how growth unfolds naturally and harmoniously. Framework and methodology of research uncover the growth pattern of the organisms and then examine and analyze it using an adjacency diagram that aids in redrawing the new organic form as a living organism and concluding the new theory for organic form and also it is applicable for understanding the creation of organic form as an living organisms.
