• The late Dr. Rudolf Steiner was a man of

many-formed genius and even his words on art deserve consideration. The great adventure of the Goetheanum, however, the large ball which Steiner designed and had built at .Dornach, was inore brave and flourishing in intention than beautifully Conceived. The Goetheanum was to have paved the Ways to c New Style of Architecture, by Rudolf Steiner (Anthropo- aophical Publishing Company, 10s.). It is a weak and fluid building : when it caught fire a pious aspiration passed out pf the world, not the great achievement which Steiner intended. The present volume contains photographs of the Goetheanum, together with five lectures on Architecture which Steiner flelivered during its building.
