  Amazing Architecture: Vienna's Hundertwasserhaus
They know full well that they won't be allowed to get inside the structure for a tour, as the residents of the building cherish their privacy, but still they come in droves just to see the place.
Hundertwasserhaus, designed and constructed under the watchful eye of Austrian architect and renegade artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, is just about the oddest and most intriguing combination of bricks, mortar and natural elements ever assembled.
Hundertwasserhaus also includes a "wintergarten" and two 'kids rooms" for use by all tenants, and also includes a café and a doctor's practice within its walls.

Designed by legendary art eccentric Friedensreich Hundertwasser, the multi-colored Hundertwasserhaus in Vienna is an apartment building that any hipster would give anything to reside in.
The Austrian architect accepted no commission for his work, declaring that it was worth it to “prevent something ugly from going up in its place.” Hundertwasser informally espoused the tenets of new urbanism in his design, maximizing use of space with minimal interference with the surrounding environment.
On April 21, 1960, the city of Brasilia was inaugurated, and the world was properly introduced to the design of Oscar Niemeyer.
