Hundertwasser | Uneven Ground: Re-feeling Underfoot

Hundertwasser | Uneven Ground: Let the Soles of Your Feet Feel Again

Deliberately rejecting flat ground: the paving is made of irregular tile fragments and colorful mosaics, undulating like small hills and valleys, requiring the soles of the feet to constantly adjust when walking on it—this designer argued that flat floors make people lose their connection with the earth. Columns are curved, walls have no straight lines, and windows and openings vary in size and are randomly placed. Colors are extremely saturated and juxtaposed in conflict: red, blue, yellow, green, plus a large number of golden domes. Plants grow from various parts of the building, considered co-inhabitants of the architecture. Photographed in strong daylight, the undulations of the paving and the fragmentation of colors are simultaneously visible. Avoid: flattened ground, straightened lines, harmonious and restrained color schemes, plants only planted in designated flower beds.

刻意拒絕平整的地面:鋪面以不規則的磁磚碎片與彩色馬賽克拼成,起伏如小丘與凹谷,走在上面腳底必須不斷調整——這位設計者主張平坦的地板讓人失去了與土地的感覺。柱子彎曲,牆面沒有直線,窗與洞口大小各異、位置隨機。色彩極度飽和且並置衝突:紅、藍、黃、綠加上大量的金色圓頂。植物從建築的各處長出,被視為建築的共同居住者。日間強光下拍攝,鋪面的起伏與色彩的碎裂同時可見。避免:地面鋪平、線條拉直、配色協調節制、植物只種在指定花台。
