Found these two at Hundertwasser Church (named after it's architect). There were a series of arch ways around the church, with tiled symbols representing all sorts of cultures and religions from around the world. And they had the decency to put in Tikis and a Waka canoe, for the NZ Maori people! Pretty rare to find that in Europe




Spent some time in Graz, the second largest city in Austria. I love Graz! The family knew I'm going to study architecture, so really made an effort to visit some incredible architectural sights. Check this one out! It's the Kunsthaus aka "The Friendly Alien" aka "Bubble." It's a Museum of Modern Art. Such cool architecture, the most incredible thing is the setting, Graz is full of these pieces of modern architecture placed within such contrasting old buildings. And it works really well together.



Here's another modern architecture example, it's an island on the Mur River connected to the banks with two foot bridges. Half of it is a café and the other half is a little outdoor , for concerts and the like.

Had a lunch in this nice café bar up above Graz, it itself was interesting modern architecture. The walls actually disappeared into the floor at the push of a button, leaving this rectangle flat roof covering half of one big outdoor terrace... very cool
