So says Frank Lloyd Wright in The Destruction of the Box, an address in which he recalls for his audience the origins of his break with previous architectural thought. According to Satler, Wright's approach, organic architecture, reveals space as a lived in and living entity, one that achieves its full meaning only when it becomes inscribed with the actual practices of those who inhabit it.
