Organicism in contemporary times refers to the emergence of the organic current through biomorphism today. It reflects on the susceptibility between the rationalist and organicist architectural currents today. It seeks to motivate discussion among young architecture students and professionals about Bruno Zevi's (1978) assertions that this type of occurrence is, so to speak, a historical law, where after functionalist rationalism follows organic romanticism. Even Charles Jencks (1985), a theorist of the Modern and Post-Modern movement, believes that unlike animal species, architectural movements never suffer complete extinction, and that there is always the chance of forms and ideas reviving, even if they undergo a renovation that gives them a new appearance.
