\u201cA house must be a living, organic entity that develops and constantly changes,\u201d stated Friedensreich Hundertwasser in one of his arguments for his nature- and human-oriented architecture. Success vindicated his vision: roof afforestation, organic forms, colorful fa\u00e7ades, uneven floors, irregularly positioned windows, gilded onion domes\u2014Hundertwasser\u2019s architecture is unmistakable.<\/p>\n
From the beginning of his artistic career in the \u201950s, Hundertwasser was preoccupied with architecture in his painting. Then began his engagement with manifestos, essays and demonstrations; later followed architectural models in which he illustrated, for example, his ideas on roof afforestation and an individual\u2019s right to his very own window.

This comprehensive directory of Hundertwasser\u2019s architectural works presents all his buildings and projects, whether realized or not, tracing them from the first sketches, through to models, and completion.
