Subverting stereotypes, the best combination of art and environmental protection: Vienna's Spittelau Incinerator

#2月好去地方2025 Vienna is indeed the capital of art. Even the garbage incinerator can be so beautiful! The Spittelau Incinerator, a power plant in Vienna, was created by the famous artist Hundertwasser. Located in the Danube Canal area at the northernmost end of Vienna, it can be reached from the Spittelau subway station. The original traditional gray exterior wall was given a bright and lively childlike image after Mr. Hundertwasser's renovation. Probably no one would have thought that this bright and peculiar building was actually an incinerator! The colorful exterior, the golden ball control tower on the chimney, the green roof and the planted trees coexist harmoniously with nature, demonstrating the concept of environmental symbiosis and overturning the stereotype of incinerators. After the transformation, it has become a famous tourist attraction, which is very suitable for checking in and taking photos. One third of Vienna's garbage is processed through the Spittelau incinerator, and the heat energy generated by the incineration is supplied to nearby residents and schools. In Maishu, Osaka, Japan, there is also a garbage disposal site designed by Mr. Shiramizu. It is also a creation that combines art with environmental protection, and it is worth visiting and taking photos. #EasternEuropeFreeTravel #AustriaTravel #Vienna
