Photographer’s Note

This is an apartment building in Magdeburg on banks of Elbe river. It was named "Die grüne Zitadelle" (The green citadel) by its designer, the Austrian all-round artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1928 - 2000) and it was completed in 2005.

Hundertwasser once called the straight line "godless" because it doesn't exist in nature. Following this his creations show only swung lines, as you can see here. The "green citadel" contains 55 dwellings, a hotel, a lot of shops and offices, restaurants and a kindergarten.


In workshop you can see another part of this complex of buildings.
