	Friedensreich Hundertwasser Biography
		The eccentric and playfully self-advertising Viennese artist known as Friedensreich Hundertwasser was born as Friedrich Stowasser on 15 December 1928.
		Hundertwasser was, however, more indebted to the work of Egon Schiele and Walter Kampmann, which he saw at their exhibitions, than to the brief period of academic instruction.
		During the 1960s Hundertwasser was extremely successful, with a 1962 retrospective in the Austrian pavilion at the Venice Biennale and a 1964 retrospective mounted by the Kestner Gesellschaft in Hannover.

	Friedensreich Hundertwasser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Friedensreich Hundertwasser (December 15, 1928 – February 19, 2000) was an Austrian painter and sculptor.
		Hundertwasser's original, unruly, sometimes shocking artistic vision expressed itself in pictorial art, environmentalism, philosophy, and design of facades, postage stamps, flags, and clothing (among other areas).
		Hundertwasser was also known for his performance art, in which he would, for instance, appear in public in the nude promoting an ecologically friendly flush-less toilet.

		Friedensreich Hundertwasser Friedrich Stowasser (December 15 1928, Vienna - February 19, 2000, Pacific Ocean near New Zealand), better known as Friedensreich Hundertwasser, was an Austrian artist and architect.
		Although Hundertwasser first achieved notoriety for his boldly-colored paintings, he is more widely renowned today for his revolutionary architectural designs, which incorporate natural features of the landscape, and use of irregular forms in his building design.
		Hundertwasser Haus, a low-income apartment block in Vienna, features undulating floors ("an uneven floor is a melody to the feet"), a roof covered with earth and grass, and large trees growing from inside the rooms, with limbs extending from windows.

		Both were born about the same time as the Austrian artist and architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser, who has died aged 71, on board the Queen Elizabeth II en route from his New Zealand farm to Europe.
		Hundertwasser developed these ideas into his Mouldiness Manifesto, a document that enjoyed great popularity during the heyday of the counter-culture, and which introduced him to the American environmental movement, which he supported to the point where, in 1980, he planted 100 trees in Washington - on what he decided to call "Hundertwasser Day".
		Hundertwasser's best-known building - and the clearest illustration of his failure to eradicate straight lines - was the Hundertwasser Haus, a block of flats for Vienna city council, opened in 1986.

		Hundertwasser was born to a Protestant father and a Jewish mother.

	Metropolis Feature: The Odd Couple
		While Rogner and Hundertwasser are pleased with the public interest in Blumau (they say some 100,000 people visited the site before the hotel even opened), they worry about the reaction of the architecture and design worlds, which have traditionally been skeptical of Hundertwasser and his high-profile publicity machine.
		Hundertwasser himself goes one better, excitedly pointing to pictures of the Blumau project and explaining what the site was like before he and Rogner showed up to build.
		There are all of the hallmarks of classic Hundertwasser planning: an onion dome caps the project, trees and grass sprout from rooftops, hallways meander, the floors are uneven--at least at the edges--and there's barely a straight line or sharp edge in sight.

		Hundertwasser's work is more whimsical than Gaudi's, and his use of dark grout to accent tiles and bright colors brings a "storybook" quality to exterior walls...making buildings look 'friendly', approachable and magical.

		Being in contact with the artist and becoming engaged with Hundertwasser’s ideas and art have prompted these students to become aware of their own environment, to think about how they are taking care of their world, and look at buildings in new ways.
		The ideas promoted by Hundertwasser through his work are complex and not easily covered in one or even multiple lessons; rather, his ideas are encompassing and require careful thought over a period of time.
		Because of the limited time that Hundertwasser was able to dedicate to the answering of the children’s questions, only those questions that could not be answered through research online or in books were submitted to the artist.
