As illustrated from left to right:
Magic Mug "Rogner-Bad Blumau": On the roofs of the hill country, Hundertwasser returned to nature: "Everything is there to be happy on earth ... We are rich; we live in paradise.”
"Magic Mug" Grass for those who cry ": City dwellers weep for the lost paradise. But Hundertwasser shows: "You can only make paradise yourself, with your creativity, in harmony with nature."
Magic Mug "Window's homesickness": For Hundertwasser, the houses did not consist of walls but windows. He found the leveling of the windows unbearable: "Windows in a row are sad, windows must be able to dance."
Magic Mug "Yellow last wants": According to Hundertwasser, architecture should increase man, not humiliate. A golden onion dome on your own house raises the inhabitant to the status of a king.
"La troisième peau" symbolizes an architecture reverie of Hundertwasser: “A house is supposed to be a third skin for the inhabitants. A skin that is constantly changing and growing organically, as well as the body's skin.”

Magic Mug "KunstHausWien" shows Hundertwasser's facade designs which are not perfectly straight and flat but humpy and interrupted by irregular mosaics. A black-and-white, irregular checkerboard pattern signals the disbanding of the grid system, its breakup. Nature and human scale are returning to architecture.
