The Discipline of Nature
Architect Alfred Browning Parker in Florida
In the 1940s modern architecture took over Florida and Alfred Browning Parker played a very important role in leading this movement. Throughout his career he came up with many principles that focused on organic architecture and really took into account the nature around him in Florida to reflect that in his work. Parker made tons of work and his Florida architecture turned him into a regional figure and a national icon.
I honestly really love Parker's designs and would love to live in a house that he designed. All the photos of the houses from Coral Gables and Coconut Grove are amazing, what I really love about his designs most are how he combines the structure and nature. It is almost as if they're just giant tree houses, and it really gives you the feeling that you are part of nature and not just stuck inside of a house. His designs are just so visually appealing and so aesthetically pleasing.
(like look at those trees! wow!)
