A notable exception is the presentation that constitutes the main part of this book. Given in June 1921, in Bern just eighteen months before its tragic destruction by fire, this lecture and slide show (consisting of a hundred slides) is both the closest thing we have to a guided tour of the original Goetheanum by its architect and a profound statement of artistic purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn addition to the lecture and slide show that comprise the main content of this volume, the introduction by John Kettle serves to place Steiner's artistic contribution to architecture in the context of early twentieth-century Expressionism and Organicism. Frederick Amrine's thorough bibliographic essay highlights the most important secondary literature on Steiner's architecture and provides a sound entry to further exploration and study.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eC O N T E N T S\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: \"The Architecture of the Future\" by John Kettle\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Goethe and Goetheanism\" essay in Das Goetheanum, March 25, 1923\u003cbr\u003e\"The Architectural Idea of the First Goetheanum\" lecture with slides in Bern, June 29, 1921\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 1: Addendum to the Discussion of Slide 7\u003cbr\u003eAppendix 2: Emil Berger's \"Urachromes\" of the Paintings in the Cupolas\u003cbr\u003eAppendix 3: Color Drawings by van Bemmelen\u003cbr\u003eAppendix 4: Bibliographic Essay by Frederick Amrine \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is translated from the 3rd revised German edition, \u003ci\u003eDas Goetheanum als Gesamtkunstwerk: Rudolf Steiner, Der Baugedanke des Goetheanum: Einleitender Vortrag mit Erkl rungen zu den Lichtbildern des Goetheanum-Baues gehalten in Bern am 29.
