“…Lewis Mumford evaluated the medieval city as having an organic connection between people and their "living environment" (Olijnik and Khodorkovski, 1997;Mumford, 2009). The Dutch architectural historian Wim Borefijn, having analyzed the urban processes in Europe in the 11th-14th centuries, concludes about this period as the "high period of the urban foundation", when at least 1,500 cities were built, and their architectural and spatial features were based on the structure of landscapes (Fesenko, 2018).…”

The 'organic’ direction and energy saving are key postulates of sustainable development today. The term "organic architecture" was first formulated in the 1890s in the works of Louis Sullivan, who used this phrase to distinguish himself from prevailing eclecticism. Later, its principles were defined in the works of Frank Lloyd Wright, developed in the works of Alvar Aalto, Richard Neutra, Luigi Fiumara, and others. This paper examines this issue of organic architecture and city planning and its relevance to the modern world. It employs complex and systematic approach as a research methodology. Systematic approach was manifested in the analysis and synthesis of the main directions of organic architecture, their types and genres, which correlate with the evolution of city planning, Historical and urban planning analysis has been utilized to understand the impact of organic principles on cityscapes, and a scientifically based complex approach explores the relationships between organic architecture and a range of social, economic and environmental phenomena at the current stage. The research methodology employed in this study revolves around a comprehensive examination of the formation and evolution of organic architecture and city planning, with a focus on the integration of energy-saving and Nature-saving technologies. The paper identifies four main directions of organic architecture. The first is based on a harmonious combination of Nature, Architecture, and Man. Here, ‘organic’ means ‘subordinate to the landscape and climatic conditions of the environment.’ The founder of this idea is Frank Lloyd Wright. The period of emergence and flourishing was the 20s in the 20th century. The second stage, biomorphism, was formed in the 1950s and 1960s and was based on imitating natural forms. Oleksandr Lazarev, Santiago Kalatrava and others promoted this aspect of organic architecture. The third which appeared at the end of the 20th century, is aimed at preserving natural resources using energy-saving technologies. The fourth is the reuse of building materials and products and recycling.

Energy-saving technologies and recycling building materials and waste are becoming integral to organic architecture. Nevertheless, the most important thing is a person's connection with the environment and creating comfortable living conditions.
