A unique landmark in Vienna, the Hundertwasserhaus will make most visitors cheerful. Its shapes and colours are not just a whim of the architect and artist, but represent a conscious view on living in a city.
The building was finished in the mid-1980s. Unfortunately, when you approach the building it is not possible to get a good view of it because it is standing shoulder to shoulders to other houses, and therefore part of the street scene. You have to get close to get a feel of the Hundertwasserhaus. Crooked walls, bright blue, red, and green surfaces, seemingly haphazard lines painted on the walls, columns all in their own colours and shapes, and a lot of plants and even trees on the roof of the building. The Hundertwasserhaus is not only a pleasant surprise for the eye, or a whim of the artist. There is a whole philosophy behind it.
