JOHN HEJDUK











John Hejduk was an architect, artist and educator and spent most of his life in New York City. Hejduk was noted for his use of attractive and often difficult to construct objects and shapes, also for a profound interest in the fundamental issue of shape, organization, representation and reciprocity.
His early work and curriculum grew from a set of exercises exploring cubes, grids, and frames, through an examination of square grids placed within diagonal containers set against an occasional curving wall, towards a series of experiments with flat planes and curved masses in various combinations and colours. The built work of Hejduk began to appear in the 1980's and continue beyond his death.
