Is it possible to have art in garbage?, in Japan it is. Maishima's incineration plant in Osaka is an outstandingly beautiful building designed by Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, architect, painter and sculptor as well.
Hundertwasser has a very special style that goes against straight lines. He cares more about irregular forms, related to nature. Among his many works, he designed a proposal for a second flag for New Zealand, which he considered his home.
The incineration plant itself is a master of engineering that has the latest in technology. It is impressive to see how much waste humans create in everyday life. I guess the point is not only to have the best resources to deal with garbage, but also to prevent from generating that much, based on a more conscious consumption.
