Godless and Immoral
“The straight line is godless and immoral. The straight line is not a creative line, it is a duplicating line, an imitating line.”
Friedensreich Hundertwasser
The architect and artist Hundertwasser was a well known adversary of the straight line, and hence the geometrical grid. The photos are of the Hundertwasser House in Bad Soden am Taunus, west of Frankfurt.

In the Meadows
Friedensreich Hundertwasser was an Austrian artist and architect who had a very distinctive and easily recognisable style. One of the houses he designed is in Bad Soden am Taunus, west of Frankfurt, and it’s called “In the Meadows”. Although he stated that straight lines are “godless and immoral” many of the windows are straight, they certainly are here. Anything else would be too expensive I think.
More information about Friedensreich (which, btw, means “rich in peace”) Hundertwasser can be found here (now with the proper link).
