Hundertwasserhaus and everything Hundertwasser

Austrian artist Heinrich Hundertwasser believed in nature and organic architecture. For every tree taken down for a building, a new one must be incorporated into the garden of the buildings. Therefore, Hundertwasser’s architecture is organic in design, devoid of straight lines and has multicoloured surface decoration with glossy tiles. We started the day at the Hundertwasserhaus, an brightly coloured apartment block designed by Hundertwasser, in a district of rectangular buildings in white or beige. The plaza around it has an undulating paved ground to exaggerate the organic. Next door to the apartment building is an arcade of shops also designed by Hundertwasser with cafes and souvenir shops.

The Kunst Haus Wien is the Hundertwasser Art Museum which displays his original paintings, tapestries and a wide variety of his graphic design work including screen prints, woodblocks and etchings. It also had models of his architectural designs and visionary villages. The museum was also designed by Hundertwasser with its undulating tiled floors and graphic black and white patterned tile exterior. Everyone loved the place and bought many things from the gift shop.
