Thanks for your answer. I would really appreciate it if you could
provide a couple more UK dissertations that focus more on the 'organic
architecture' subject

I'll see what I can do, although most of the online thesis material
that I am aware of seems to be from the US and Canada.
I was confused by your request that you want materials that focus
'more on the organic architecture subject'.
The links I provided all focus quite directly on organic architecture.
If they are not meeting your needs, then please be a bit more
specific in how they are falling short, and what sort of materials
would be better suited for you.
The more I understand what you need, the better I can assist you.
Looking forward to your reply,

Hi Pafalafa-ga
Thanks for your response. I am looking for dissertations that address
the Fallingwater example of the organic architecture. Only one of the
dissertations that you provided cross mention the 'fallingwater house'
I hope this clarify my questions. Do not hesisitate to ask if you have
further questions.

I've listed a few more dissertations, below, with a focus on
Fallingwater. Since your original question specified an "and/or"
option, I didn't focus exclusively on Fallingwater in my original
search.
Hopefully, these will fully meet your needs:

Thank you Pafalafa. That's more like it. I understand that there are
not any full dissertations on the fallingwater alone. A few more
essays or may be long articles on the fallingwater as an example of
the organic architecture approach would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

s_b-ga,
Although a great deal of literature has been written about
Fallingwater, not that much of it is available online. I've included,
below, some scholarly articles (and one abstract) that you can access
directly:

Hope that does the trick...
