SCHÖNER WOHNEN
ARCHITECTURAL VISIONS FROM 1900 TO TODAY
08. June 2025
The theme of habitation (Wohnen) is a more topical than ever. Since time immemorial, artists and architects have captured their initial ideas of a future architecture in drawings. The Kunsthalle Tübingen is focussing on the artistic architectural drawing as an art form of the past one hundred years, until October 19, 2025.

Hundertwasser's contribution is the overpainted photograph from 1971: 713/I SUGGESTION FOR HEALING OF ARCHITECTURE - RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS. He noted: "I took photographs of a completely hideous, terrible highrise residential project in North Germany - I think it was built by "Neue Heimat" ("New Homeland") - and painted trees, non-regulated irregularities and window-right activities over them, just the way I imagine the activity of the architecture doctor who heals sick buildings."
