The design of the second Goetheanum changes from a relatively square shape in the northeast to a highly dynamic and sculptural shape in the southwest. Built in concrete around 1925 the classic technique of thin strips of wood was used to produce the moulds for the sculptural part of the facade where curvature in two directions was required. In producing the VRML model I was interested in whether the same feel of curvature could be achieved by utilising a more economic approach of coarse, but carefully designed triangulation. Encouraged by the virtual reality result, I decided to evaluate the triangulation as a paper model as well. The model has been modelled exclusively from images published in books about the Goetheanum. |
