KUNST HAUS WIEN. Museum Hundertwasser

"Born Friedrich Stowasser in Vienna in 1928, this artist and architect took on the more grandiose name Friedensreich Regentag Dunkelbunt Hundertwasser during a stint at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. Preferring spirals and curves to straight lines, he designed many eccentric structures with mismatched windows, some with trees growing out of them, undulating floors, bright tiles, and unexpected domes and curves. Three of his most famous structures can be seen in Vienna; the municipal heating plant Fernwarmewerk, the Hundertwasserhaus apartment building, and the KunstHaus, which is a museum of his works. Hundertwasser grew up in WWII-era Germany. Born to Catholic and Jewish parents, he joined the Hitler Youth to avoid persecution. His unusual architecture is an extension of his overall philosophy, outlined in the 1950s in assorted manifestos with names like "Mouldiness Manifesto against Rationalism in Architecture", and "Speech in Nude for the Right to a Third Skin", which must have been most interesting when presented live. He believed that happiness could be found in joyful design, and that the straight lines and boxes of traditional architecture were a problem to be solved. Hundertwasser's eccentric structures delight visitors in Austria, Germany, Japan and and New Zealand. His final design was built after his death in Magdeburg, Germany in 2005. The artist lived in New Zealand in his later years, and died in 2000 aboard the RMS Queen Mary 2 en route to Germany where he was to view his last work, the "Waldspirale" in Darmstadt. In Vienna: Hundertwasserhaus (private residence) Hundertwasser's most famous building was constructed between 1983 and 1986. The flowing lines and organic forms house 52 apartments and four offices, with plenty of room for living plants and trees. He accepted no payment for the massive building design, stating that it was worth it to him to see his design realized instead of having "something ugly" erected in its place. Kegelgasse 36-38, between Lowengasse and Untere Weissgerberstrasse. Fernwarmewerk Spittelau (heating plant) Famed for its golden sphere and colorful smokestack, the district heating plant may be his most striking work of op-art. Spittelauer Lande 45 Hundertwasser facade Hunderwasser only desiged the front of this mosaic covered building.

"The KunstHausWien building was created as a result of the adaptation of the former Thonet furniture factory and represents the artist’s typical style: curvatures, uneven floors, a facade decorated with mosaics and plants being an integral part of the building."

"Un café rigolo, les boissons sont correctes mais pas fofolles."

@alice.roth

"The Hundertwasser Museum presents the largest international collection of works by the highly original Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1928 - 2000). A few steps from the "Hundertwasser Haus" on the Danube Canal, it is possible to admire his exceptional architectural work up close, both from the outside and from the inside, as well as his paintings, architectural sketches, graphic works and examples of commitment in the ecological field."

@thepellins

"This converted furniture factory is home to the work of Friedensreich Hundertwasser, plus visiting exhibitions. Hundertwasser's florid paintings give you an insight into the evolution of his unique style, but it's the architectural models that really grab the imagination. "
