In this book, first published in 1984, the question of the meaningfulness of our endeavors is posed more radically than ever before. The question "Are we living in harmony with our bodily organs and with universal laws, or are we operating against them?" has been raised for all areas of life (kindergarten, school, university, crafts, architecture, and the construction of homes, settlements, care facilities, and hospitals, as well as urban planning). This was revolutionary at the time.

The two authors, Hugo Kükelhaus and Rudolf zur Lippe, design a lasting place of perception, which they call Utopia. In this "house without dogma," visitors are invited to question and expand their worldview, their concept of humanity, and their imagination through active play, research, observation, and reflection. The construction of Utopia began ten years later at Wiesbaden's Freudenberg.

Today, the themes of "learning with all senses," "vacation with all senses," and "wine tasting with all senses" are widely discussed. No state garden show, city festival, or school celebration is complete without sensory stations. The newly reissued book by the Freudenberg community reads like a manifesto against the trivialization and dulling of the senses and serves as a guide and support for those who wish to engage with the topic of sensory development. Especially the drawings and handwriting of Hugo Kükelhaus testify to the dimensions in which he envisioned his field of experience. Anyone wishing to drink from this source is warmly recommended to read this book.
