Theodor Schwenk (1910–1986)[1] was an anthroposophist, engineer and a pioneering water researcher who founded the Institute for Flow.
He is most well known for his book, Sensitive Chaos: The Creation of Flowing Forms in Water and Air, which explores subtle patterns and phenomena of water, air and their relationship to biological forms.[2] The narrative of the book is in the tradition of Goethe and Rudolf Steiner, viewing nature as ruled by a single unifying principle which is apparent in all movement and form.[1]
He was director of the Institute of Fluid Science in Herrischried, Germany.[1]
