The West Façade of the Goetheanum

The West Façade of the Goetheanum

Walter Kugler gives an insight into aspects of the west façade of the Goetheanum

On the façade – or actually on the building as a whole – we recognise these contrasts of lines and surfaces, of inside and outside. So there are inward folds in the surfaces, there are outward bulges, and then there are also sharp edges, there are softer edges, and this is something that, so to speak, gives the viewer of this building the possibility of activating a movement within themselves, in that polarities become experienceable and thereby the viewer is also moved inwardly to create polarities.
