Realization of the Goetheanums was conducted as craft, the followers of Steiner joining in the actual building and each contributing their talents to Steiner's total conception of the building.
An important point in the conception of form of the Goetheanum is that it was not perceived to be the result of an organic analogy it derived its forms from an architectural past.
In the cases of both the Goetheanum and the Einsteinturm, the exterior form is contrived from forms lying outside of normative recognition function is sublimated to form.

 DJ Heaf Website: General Anthroposophical Society -- Article on Goetheanum Car Park

There exists indeed an independent professional survey into the parking situation in the Goetheanum grounds which was commissioned by the Community Council in 1985; a 1992 resolution of the Solothurn Cantonal Council; several Community Council resolutions and finally the aforementioned agreement between the GAS and the Dornach Community Council of 1993.
The 1985 survey assessed the situation at the time and offered suggestions as to a possible solution of the main problem, which was unregulated parking all over the Goetheanum grounds and – even more of a nuisance – parking in the surrounding lanes during the large conferences.

This building has not only been put here externally for the use of the Anthroposophical Movement, or of the Anthroposophical Society, but just as it stands there, in all its details, it is born out of that which our movement purposes to represent before the world, spiritually and otherwise.
But at the same time it must be said just here that in the contrast which Goethe has set up in his Faust between the good powers and Mephistopheles there exists the same error as in Milton's Paradise Lost: namely, on the one side the good powers, on the other the evil power, Mephistopheles.
