Establishment of Problem & Planning Process

This painting, from Ellis' Architecture article, demonstrates Hundertwassers initial conception of the building plan. As a painter by training, this formed the basis for the more rigid architectural plans (Ellis).

The building contains a total of 50 apartments, and this plan reveals Hundertwasser's limits. While the 12 roof gardens, public space composition and certain bathrooms carry the "curvaceous riot" into the building's interior, the apartments themselves are by-and-large rectilinear and standard in form (Hansay)

This plan once again demonstrates the dichotomy of Hundertwasser's plans: the exterior is meticulously chaotic, the inside of rectilinear forms.
