Answer:

Architect, pragmatist, tech geek, inchoate environmentalist

Sustainable architecture is about mini mising a building's impact on its environment over its life.

Organic architecture is a term coined by Frank Lloyd Wright and relates to a building's harmony with its surroundings, as if a building looks like it could have naturally grown out of them. This was a precursor to today's sustainable design principles.

So strictly speaking the first approach is a technical philosophy, the second, a broader design philosophy.

It would be an interesting debate to speculate to what extent FLW's organic architecture is sustainable.
