What was Hundertwasser's core philosophy on architecture?
My central idea is that architecture should be in harmony with nature, not in opposition to it. Humans are a part of nature, and our dwellings should reflect that organic connection. I advocated for 'tree tenants,' where trees and plants are integrated into buildings, breathing life and color into urban spaces. The straight line, I argued, is an unnatural imposition; nature abhors straight lines and instead creates spirals, curves, and irregular forms. My goal was to bring joy and individuality back into our built environments.
