Concrete Faces - Goetheanum

The Goetheanum in Dornach, about ten kilometres south of Basel (Switzerland), is the seat and meeting place of the General Anthroposophical Society. It was designed by Rudolf Steiner, the founder of anthroposophy, and is considered a source of inspiration for the entire anthroposophical architecture.

This series focuses primarily on the monumental expressionist staircase with three floors, which, like the entire building, is made of exposed concrete. The interior is extremely multifaceted and sculptural designed and instead of simple smooth walls you find many geometric structures.

About this series there is an article at Plain Magazine, you can read here:

Author
Birgit Schlosser is a Visual Designer and Photographer, with a strong preference for architectural and landscape photography, trying to capture them with a minimalist approach. She is particularly interested in modern, monumental architecture and its variety of geometric forms and extraordinary design. As landscape photographer she's looking for vastness, stillness, the sublime - and sometimes also a touch of surrealism.
