The first Goetheanum as an example of spiritual architecture, built from 1913 - 1923 according to Rudolf Steiner's designs.

Architecture (from Greekαρχη arché "beginning, origin, foundation, the first" and τεχνη techné "art, craft, handicraft" or τεκτόν téktón "carpenter, master builder") is, taken literally, the "first craft" or the "first art" in general. It is based on the feeling of space, which arises from the inner experience of the physical body. If one observes how the human being walks and stands, one arrives at the architectural forms. This usually leads to the development of a regional or supra-regional architectural style that is typical for the respective epoch and today increasingly also for a specific architect.
