Hans Scharoun, Hugo Haring and other European architects had developed the concept from Wright's "Organic Architecture". However, for the social background, the limitations of modernism and other reasons, their efforts had not been recognized. They had been misunderstood for a very long time by the historians and critics. The thesis begin with the Hans Scharoun's work process, in light of the background of modern movement, explained the hidden motive behind the architectural design. The thesis is not concerned about style, but the design process.As Scharoun's friend and mentor, the German theorist Hugo Haring is the most direct source of the Scharoun's "organic architecture" theory. The thesis also describes in detail Hugo Haring's "Organhaftes Bauen". While the works of Hans Scharoun is not very familiar and to avoid misunderstanding, the thesis pay more attention to his works when his "organic architecture" theoretical become maturity. It also makes it possible to reveal hidden theory and principles behind the design through the real works.At last, the thesis confines the "Organic Architecture" glancingly, and makes some predictions where would "Organic Architecture" to go on the future.
