You're standing at the Goetheanum in Dornach, just outside Basel. Take a good look at this building. Can you spot a right angle? You'll struggle. Rudolf Steiner, the founder of anthroposophy, wanted to break free from the usual rules of architecture. So everything here curves and swells, as if this huge concrete building was sculpted rather than built. It's named after the poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and it's the world centre of the anthroposophical movement.
