Rudolf Steiner’s First Goetheanum
I thought I would share my comment on Lebbeus Woods blog, Outsider Architecture:

Regarding Steiner: I agree that in the larger profession his works are slighted or relegated to a minor role vastly disproportionate to his influence. While we studied him at school (Cincinnati) I think Steiner presents a difficult square peg for historians to fit in their round holes; his expressionist work is hard to place – is he like Corbusier or like Saarinen (???) – and he had the disadvantage of building between two major wars and then, as you point out, the Modern movement shifted into the International Style.
As for other outsider architects Christopher Alexander comes to mind, only because his work is met with almost universal disdain when I bridge his name and work. His debate with Peter Eisenman while legendary certainly cemented his status as an outsider.
