Preserving the Past.
Inspiring the Future.
A growing archive of original materials from the organic architecture movement
The Organic Architecture + Design Archives (OA+D) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to preserving and sharing the legacy of organic architecture and design, a philosophy rooted in harmony with nature, creative integrity, and human-centered innovation, through its stewardship of original drawings, photographs, manuscripts, and design records from architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Bruce Goff, and Paolo Soleri.
As collections continue to be entrusted to OA+D, we work to preserve, catalog, and make these materials accessible for research, exhibitions, and public engagement.
What We Do
The OA+D Archives actively:
Preserve original architectural drawings and documents
Catalogand digitize collections for public access
Supportresearch, exhibitions, and publications
Expand our digital archive and online catalog
Ongoing support and shop purchases helps expand the archive and develop our digital platform, increasing access for researchers, institutions, and the public.
Keep the spirit of organic architecture alive — your support makes it possible.
Our mission is to safeguard the original drawings, photographs, writings, and personal archives of visionary architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Bruce Goff, Paolo Soleri, and many others whose work shaped a uniquely American approach to design. These materials are invaluable to scholars, practitioners, and the public — offering insight into a creative movement that continues to inspire generations.
But this legacy is at risk. Every year, important works are lost to neglect, dispersal, or destruction. As traditional sources of funding diminish, individual financial support is more critical than ever to ensure these irreplaceable resources are preserved and made accessible through conservation, digital cataloging, publications, exhibitions, and educational programs.
When you support OA+D, you play a direct role in keeping the story of organic architecture alive — not just for today’s designers and researchers, but for future generations to learn from, build on, and be inspired by.
