    So on one of the meetings he even ready a meal of nettles that brought on stomach inflammation the long standing therapy. He died in 2000.

    He crated one particular of the main tourist attractions of Vienna and Europe. The Hundertwasserhaus, that is the Residence of Hundertwasser, is the attempt to show in architecture a union of man and nature. The escape from regularity , symmetry and straight lines proves his exceptionality. Hundertwasser hated straight lines treating them as "ungodly and immoral ". Thus his property looks like it is of rubber and it seems not to have right to stand stably. The postulate of rejection of straight lines the architect contained in his "Mould Manifesto", which was read for the first time in 1958 through the International Meeting of Art and Architecture in Seckau. Besides these particular views, he became well-known mainly because of the way of performing - he often appeared in public fully naked.

    In 1983 the town council of Vienna supplied Hundertwasser to construct a property at Lowegasse. It was pretty risky order simply because the architect mixed baroque colonnades, irregularily place windows, diverse colours of every single flat, mosaic and cupola or plants. It was also risky because Hundertwasser did not give the workers precise instructions so they worked according to their person inclinations. He claimed that "everyone, who functions for him, likes him ". The constructing was led by the architect Jozef Krawin. The property was open in 1985, but it was offered to use a year later, and on the initial day over 70 thousand visitors wanted to sightsee it.. The plants are natural element of Hundertwasser's projects. He thought that planting trees is an ecological action and cutting them down is a political move.

    In the developing there are 50 flats (from 30 to 150 m2), four restaurants, doctor's surgery, 16 private and 3 public terraces. Around the property there are over 250 trees and shrubs. The property area is about 3550 m ² and it price 6 millions Euro . The architect did not want the cash for the project. He claimed that the consciousness that absolutely nothing ugly was built in this place was a adequate payment for him .

    Though this is one of the most substantial areas for sightseeing , tourists can admire it only from outside - simply because this is usually functioning residence exactly where residents live. The neighboring locations offers the wide selection of accommodation in hotels and apartments.

    The Hundertwasserhaus is the 1st, but not the only apartment complicated of this sort in the globe. Similar buildings were also constructed in Plochingen (1998/1999), Darmstadt (called Waldspirale) and Magdeburg (Grune Zitadelle).

    Hundertwasser was underestimated by critics and the public, simply because of his particularly tough theories. He was a man who presented unconventional opinions. And he developed the developing which is nicely-recognized in the whole globe and about which students study at art history or architecture research . Thanks to Hundertwasserhaus Vienna has its symbol of postmodernistic art and hundreds of thousands of interested tourists.

    If you're seeking for a city with stunning architecture, a pleasant climate and a extremely important cultural heritage, Vienna is tough to beat.

    The capital city of Austria, Vienna has a population of around 1.6 million and the currency in use is the Euro. eskorte girls oslo
