Architecture epoch – Waldorf school

The primary objective of building is to create the narrower framework of life, i.e. spaces necessary for the various forms of human activity. The material of architecture – what architecture effectively works with and shapes – is space itself. The architectural history course in the epoch is based on this defnition and provides a survey of the most important architectural periods from megalithic culture until the present day. The successive periods are not discussed on merely stylistic grounds but as part of a social and intellectual/ spiritual process, and the impact of the built-up environment upon people and society is also studied. The three-week-long epoch also includes collectively realised creative projects as well as freehand drawing and writing.
