When I studied architecture received as a gift a book about an Austrian artist who had never heard of, Friedensreich Hundertwasser.

Finding myself studying in Vienna from July, wanted to visit at least one of the famous buildings, the Hundertwasser.

Originally trained as a painter, became interested in a form of architecture in harmony with man and nature, and in 1977 the mayor of Vienna gave the opportunity for a residential complex according to your ideas.

Not being an architect, the council hired Josef Krawina so she could bring their ideas to reality, and was carried out between 1983 and 1986.

Construction is completely opposite to the Vienna skyline, this building stands colorful curves and lines, undulating surfaces, grass cover and vegetation climbing between windows. Hundertwasser is said that he received no financial benefit from this project, their motivation was to prevent something ugly was built in its place.

I found it curious that this complex being part of the cultural heritage of Vienna, has not been converted into a museum and is inhabited as any apartment building.It is one of the venues in the city of Vienna.
