Hundertwasser's comment on the work

Proposals of February 1982 for the remodelling of the Bregenz Festival House, which is a paricularly flagrant example of sterile, quickly fabricated architecture. Roof afforestation where the construction is strong enough. Deregulation of the uniform rows of windows. Enlivening of the sterile skyline by adding on irregularities - turrets, spheres and trees. Adding greenery to the white, flat building surfaces by means of Boston ivy and other climbing plants. Some of the seats should be given different colours, so that irregular islands result in the sea of the rows of seats.(translation from: Hundertwasser Architecture, Cologne, 1997, p. 112)
