I SAY HOUSES CONSIST OF WINDOWS."

Friedensreich Hundertwasser, Window Dictatorship and Window Rights, 1990

The "Hundertwasser Haus", Vienna - Austria - an apartments building conceived by Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1928-2000), an Austrian painter and multifaceted artist, with his very own and controversial philosophy, specially because of his "Mould Manifesto" (1958, with 1959 and 1964 addenda), against the rationalism in Architecture.

Traditionally known as the "Hundertwasser Haus", this building is nowadays sometimes referred to as the "Hundertwasser-Krawina Haus", therefore including the name of the Austrian architect Joseph Krawina, who worked with Hundertwasser during the building construction (1983-1986).
