About Toward A New Architectural Paradigm
These were two lectures delivered during the so-called “Christmas Conference for Teachers” in October 1920. The anthroposophical movement represented a whole new paradigm; thus it had to create its own, new artistic style. Form should be organic, like the nut and it shell. Everything should be engaged in a Goethean metamorphosis, as we see for example in the capitals. Not the historical Goethe should inspire us, but rather Goethe as it exists in the present day. The walls should be transparent, leading our gaze to the spiritual realms beyond. In an extended discussion of the paintings in the cupolas, Steiner declares that color must be primary, and line secondary.
