This collection introduces Rudolf Steiner's vision of architecture as a culmination of the arts. Such an architecture unites sculpture, painting, and engraving as well as drama, music and dance -- a vital synthesis of all the arts working in cooperation out of a common ideal to awaken each human being to his or her unique self and task in life.

Unlike many of his contemporaries, however, Steiner's ideas did not remain abstract. Within his lifetime he was able to design and construct a number of buildings, including his architectural masterpiece, the Goetheanum -- a center for culture and arts near Basle, Switzerland. In these lectures Steiner describes, with reference to the Goetheanum, the importance of an architecturally coherent and integrated community, and how this in turn affects social unity and harmony.

Includes eight color plates and 30 black & white illustrations. A valuable collection for students of architecture, the arts, social science, or anybody seeking deeper spiritual understanding.
