Hundertwasser's Waldspirale, "Wooden Spiral"
This building, located in Darmstadt, Germany, is one of my favorite buildings with a green roof. All of this is from the imagination of Friedensreich Hundertwasser, an Austrian painter and architect.
No two windows are the same and all of the corners are rounded off in these apartments along the roof and walls in an application of Hundertwasser's dogma "gegen die gerade Linie" or "against the straight line." Waldspirale is a loud testament to Hundertwasser's hatred of straight lines and his allegiance to nature
Hundertwasser once said, "If man walks in nature's midst, then he is nature's guest and must learn to behave as a well-brought-up guest."
