Amazing Rogner Bad Blumau
That’s the core idea of the outstanding Austrian architect Hundertwasser, which he realized to its full in the amazing thermal resort Bad Blumau, where the magic architecture and design is combined with the luxury thermal and spa world.
The architecture of the thermal resort contains no straight lines or similarly straight windows, symbolizing the unity of a man with nature. Hundertwasser believed that the worst thing people can do is to live in the buildings which all look the same, like grey concrete boxes. «Every resident has the right to look out of his window and paint it or modify the wall around it,» – the artist wrote. His concept of the ideal home — it’s non-linear multi-dimensional space, the realm of streamlined forms and the lack of strict geometrical forms. Thus, Hundertwasser attempted to free people from linear thinking, trying to teach them the freedom of expression, to inspire people with the idea of transforming the world and the responsibility of each of us of the future of the world in which we live.
