Vienna municipal recycling centre by Hundertwasser

I thought I was just looking at pictures of Euro Disney or something! I had no idea there was something like that in Vienna, I have to travel more of Europe one of these days. Very cool stuff!

I think Calgary could learn from Vienna.

I lived in Vienna for a year while going to school, they were once the epicenter of European architecture during the Baroque era, so its amazing how they accept such radical designs and buildings to co-exist with old classical designs.

I love the tower, although its called a recycling center, the main purpose is to incinerate garbage, you dont ever see smoke come out the top though.

4th dimension, very cool...I see a black hole or some kind of worm hole (Sliders) in the bottom right corner.

Hundertwasser, not something you see everyday...not here anyways.

the worm hole would be an entrance into the building courtyard...
