The straight line is ungodly (F. Hundertwasser)

Painting and sculpture are now free, inasmuch as anyone may produce any sort of creation and subsequently display it. In architecture, however, this fundamental freedom, which must be regarded as a precondition for any art, does not exist, for a person must first have a diploma in order to build. Why?

 

 

Everyone should be able to build, and as long as this freedom to build does not exist, the present-day planned architecture cannot be considered art at all. Our architecture has succumbed to the same censorship as has painting in the Soviet Union. All that has been achieved are detached and pitiable compromises by men of bad conscience who work with straight-edged rulers

 

 

Friedensreich Hundertwasser

 

 

 

"Eine natur- und menschengerechte Architektur soll den Menschen erheben, nicht erniedrigen".

Well, this is another Hundertwasser house in the Franfurt area (Bad Soden).

You could already admire the "Waldspirale" in Darmstadt (30 km from Frankfurt) on Buschis and my tabblo.

The other is a kindergarden in Frankfurt-Heddernheim.
