Today we continue our exploration of the architects whose names were first brought to my attention when writing the blog post on Javier Senosiain. First we explored Bruce Goff, and now Friedensreich Hundertwasser. Hundertwasser (1928-2000) was an Austrian visual artist and architect. His most famous building is the Hundertwasserhaus in Vienna. According to Wikipedia: Hundertwasserhaus features undulating floors,… and large trees growing from inside the rooms, with limbs extending from windows. Undulating floors! I can’t even imagine that!
It is stated that he was not a fan of straight lines, no surprise there. Perhaps his first two or three creations were more linear, after which he let his creativity run wild.
