Note 448 — CHAPTER 22 THE EARLY WORK OF THE SECOND GENERATION: WALTER GROPIUS, LE CORBUSIER, MIES VAN DER ROHE, AND THE DUTCH

An earlier Goetheanum of 1913-20, which was destroyed by fire, had been largely of wood. It was not at all like Mendelsohn’s Einstein Tower but still somewhat Art Nouveau. See Brunati and Mendini, Steiner, Milan [n.d.], for both versions. See also Steiner, R., Wege zu einem neuen Baustil, Dornach, 1926 (Eng. trans., London-New York, 1927), and Der Baugedanke des Goetheanum, Dornach, 1932; and Rosenkrantz, A., The Goetheanum as a New Impulse in Art, [London, n.d.].
