Hundertwasser - Text Detail

A single architect is absolutely crucial for design integrity.

He’s an architect’s architect; he told me he’s interested in how buildings can help do the metaphysical work of what the philosopher Martin Heidegger called true dwelling—a social triad made of people, one to another and in their environments.

Anyone who uses a properly designed object feels the presence of an artist who has worked for him , bettering his living conditions and encouraging him to develop his taste and sense of beauty.

―Italian designer Bruno Munari, in Design as Art

work of art closest to perfection is both most profoundly determined by its time and goes furthest beyond it into timelessness.”
