We know this just as well as those of us who are working on it, just as [illegible words in shorthand] it is first of all necessary that when new things want to enter world culture, they first enter in an imperfect form. Of course, now I could give long lectures on everything that is wrong with the building. But it's not that [that matters], it's that one day - like Greek architecture, like Gothic architecture - this anthroposophically conceived architecture will be introduced into the entire culture of humanity. In the course of time, other buildings - which will of course no longer be part of this culture - will be built in the direction of this architectural idea. That is the main thing, that in this Munich building, in this root building, we can see what is actually necessary for such buildings of the future.
