9 lectures in various cities, April 1915-June 1920 (CW 288) The
planning, construction, and execution of the functional work of art
that was the First Goetheanum was an endeavor that occupied Rudolf
Steiner for the better part of seven years. Every detail, from the
seemingly small--such as the shape and feel of the door handles--to
the grand motifs of the paintings on the ceilings of the cupolas
and the building's intended sculptural centerpiece, was lovingly
designed to meet and inspire the individual human beings who would
some day encounter it, not with didactic symbolism, but with the
transparent reality of the spiritual foundation of humanity and the
world, and the open possibility to both know this spiritual
foundation and to work with it practically and artistically for the
good of all. The lectures in this volume--accompanied by
reproductions of more than a hundred slides--were heard by various
audiences as the building neared completion and before it was
destroyed by fire. The text is complemented with a foreword by the
esteemed architect Douglas J. Cardinal, as well as an important and
revelatory Introductory essay by David Adams: "The Form-Function
Relationship in Architecture and Nature: Organic and Inorganic
Functionalism." This volume of The Collected Works of Rudolf
Steiner is essential reading for anyone who wants to gain a deeper
understanding of the artistic motivation of Rudolf Steiner as an
artist and architect, while also clearing up many of the
misunderstandings that the building and its sculptural and painted
components have inevitably given rise to, both then and now. C O N
