Nature in Buildings: Rudolf Steiner in Dornach 1913-1925

Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), founder of the Anthroposophical Society, was also active in the field of architecture and the arts. His designs for the two Goetheanum buildings at Dornach, near Basel, together with the many residential and functional buildings grouped around them have met with great admiration. In his architecture, Steiner sought to realise a form of building which would reflect his sense of spiritualism, and it is his unusual but innovative use of concrete and his expressive timber forms which are of interest to architects today.

This book provides a long-awaited overview of the most significant and interesting buildings on the Goetheanum hill. Detail photographs and panoramas in beautiful duotone quality are accompanied by illuminating comments by Werner Blaser, and an introduction by Walter Kugler, administrator of the Steiner estate.
