“Unique aspects of design showcased how it really was a spiritual centre and responded to the Community’s need to assemble…the fact that there were no right-angles had a nod to Rudolf Steiner’s school of thought that right angles restrict and the pentagon’s shape breathes and is inclusive. The large overhangs give Frank Lloyd Wright a nod, which invites the visitor to enter and have shelter. The centre point from the skylight reflecting humanity’s intrinsic spiritual nature – the center in us all; the unique transition from solid to light, which were the solid walls of the Hall to the open stained glass window in the lobby…all these features seem to resonate aspects of the Community in unison with a shared vision of spirituality.”
