Straight Lines

Growing on the Roof
The museum incorporates living trees and plants growing directly from its roof and balconies, a testament to Hundertwasser's commitment to integrating nature into urban architecture.

Friedensreich Hundertwasser, the visionary behind the museum, was a pioneering advocate for ecological architecture and sustainable living long before it became mainstream.
