KUNST HAUS WIEN

Yesterday evening I went to see an exhibition about shoes in art and design at KUNST HAUS WIEN. The museum is located in the 3district, in a former Thonet furniture factory that has been remodelled by Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. For him human misery was a result of the rational, sterile, monotonous architecture; he propagated instead an architecture in harmony with nature with uneven floors, woods on the roof and spontaneous vegetation. His buildings are not to everybody's taste, but they really stand out of the normal.

Hundertwasser Pillar

Yesterday evening I went to see the Linda McCartney exhibition at KUNST HAUS WIEN. The museum is located in the former Thonet furniture factory in the 3rd district, remodelled by Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. A characteristic element of his archictecture are colourful pillars and the uneven floor. If you happen to be in Vienna until Ocotober 6, go see the exhibition - I can highly recommend it.

21er Haus - The Collection

Two works by Austrian artists currently on show at the 21er Haus: A sculpture by Oswald Stimm (*1923) and a painting by Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1928-2000).

Spittelau

After a blaze in the 1980s, the façade of the District Heating Plant Spittelau was redesigned by the Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1928-2000) whose vision was a life in harmony and in harmony with nature. His architectural designs use irregular forms and incorporate natural features of the landscape. For a photo of an apartment house designed by Hundertwasser please click here.

Unusual facade

This unusual facade is a part of the apartment building "Hundertwasser-Krawina-Haus" in the 3rd district. Designed by Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1928-2000) and built between 1983 and 1986, this unconventional building has no straight lines or surfaces, it is completely asymmetrical with tortuous corridors, rounded-off corners and many plants and trees growing on unusual spots.
