[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Any modern architecture in which the straight line or the geometric circle have been employed for only a second – and were it only in spirit – must be rejected. Not to mention the design, drawing-board and model-building work which has become not only pathologically sterile, but absurd. The straight line is godless and immoral. The straight line is not a creative line, it is a duplicating line, an imitating line. In it, God and the human spirit are less at home than the comfort-craving, brainless intoxicated and unformed masses.
Consequently, T-square structures, be they ever so curved, bending, overhanging, or perforated, are invalid. This is all just the panic of the constructive architects not to lose contact with trends and to change their style in time

Hello Vlad,
The curving lines adds to the visual impact, and here they are applied also in the cobblestoned pavement!
This is a fine frame with many interesting details...

Hi Vlad,

I'm so glad the straight lines were rejected.
Lovely to see this part of his creation.

Hello Vlad,
I like architecture and urban development. So this photo drew my attention...
Very good composition, showing us the play of distorted lines and layers. We can "sense" how these lines continue to expand outside the borders of your photo and that's interesting, because we can imagine what we don't see.
TFS & kind regards,
Erik

I love Hundertwasser work...interesting, colourful, creative and against the normal...

A colourful shot here Vlad, nicely presented.

Hundertwasser made New Zealand his second home did you know that, he is buried here, and toilets in the Hundertwasser style were built in Kawakawa New Zealand..and has made the small town now a tourist attraction.

Cheers
Dawn.

Every window is unique, like the "Waldspirale" in Darmstaadt. Nice composition with good light and colours. Well done.
Best wishes,
Achim

ciao!
wow! But it's fantastic this place! An unreal world! Well done and thank you for sharing!

This is a very good and representative shot of the Hundertwasser Haus! Good idea to reproduce part of the manifesto in the note!
Der Mann Ohne Winkelmass! Arik Brauer had also adhered to this concept (he too has a house in Vienna).
Cheers

Hi Vlad,
Thanks for the discovering of this architecture movement! It makes me think at a modern Gaudi Style! It is great!

Hello Vlad,

Beautiful and modern even this architecture.
an innovation in them building site, is different
creative and colored, escaping from the correct and symmetrical patterns.
I like that, she has a beautiful impact.
Congratulations

Sérgio
