Such architecture unites sculpture, painting, and engraving as well as drama, music and dance--a vital synthesis of all the arts working in cooperation through the common ideal of awakening us to our individuality and task in life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike many of his contemporaries, 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese lectures offer a panorama of the development of architecture in parallel with the emerging human soul in human evolution. This is a valuable collection for all students of architecture, the arts, social science, and those looking for a deeper spiritual understanding of the art of architecture. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncludes eight color plates and 30 black \u0026amp; white illustrations. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONTENTS: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart One: The Temple Is the Human Being\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e An Art \u0026amp; Architecture that Reveal the Underlying Wholeness of Creation \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Task of Modern Art \u0026amp; Architecture \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Proposals for the Architecture of a Model Anthroposophical Community at Dornach \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart Two: Ways to a New Style of Architecture\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e True Artistic Creation \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Art As the Creation of Organs through which the Gods Speak to Us \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A New Concept of Architecture \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Aesthetic Laws of Form \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Creative World of Color \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003eAppendix: The Evolution of Architecture at the Turn of Each New Millennium \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Notes \u0026amp; Color Plates \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eArchitecture as a Synthesis of the Arts\u003c\/i\u003e is a translation from German of \u003ci\u003eWege zu einem neuen Baustil. \"Und der Bau wird Mensch\"\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Rudolf Steiner Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45320947171479,"sku":"9781855840577","price":2374.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781855840577.webp?v=1769288553","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/architecture-as-a-synthesis-of-the-arts-9781855840577","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
