Maybe it will not surprise you but I like "Stowasser" creations. Nobody can say it is boring. I find exciting the organic forms in contrast to very geometric, straight lines seen in general. His CITADEL OF MAGDEBURG is truly fascinating .
I am a "modern" architect and as such I had a lot of trouble with his visions (in the past). I used to disliked what he made, considered it to be just colourful decoration.
But a few years ago I visited his Ronald Mc donald house in Houthem (Zuid Limburg). Now that was an something impressive: the total building was a sound architectural feast for the eyes: the concept, the layout and spatial arrangement, how the rooms were formed, the detailing, the colours and use of materials, the interaction of interior and exterior. A real gesamtkunstwerk.

Wow. A lovely sketch of what looks like a wonderful patio and garden.
Its funny, but I visited some buildings in Magdeburg in 2004 that were close to the medieval cathedral. They were government buildings belonging to either the state or the municipality. I don't know whether this is the same one that was referred to.
If it's the colourful building with the golden domes on top, yes it is. We have a building (a holiday center for children with cancer) a few kilometers from here. I visited it a few years ago.
To sit here and sip coffee- beautiful.
Indeed Rob. Have you been there, during your visit to Vienna?
