Adjusting Foundations
Author: John Hejduk
Semi-hard cover. Very good condition.
Adjusting Foundations by John Hejduk is a profound exploration of the intersection between painting and architecture, blending rich, cubist-inspired watercolor paintings with conceptual architectural proposals. Hejduk poses the question: if a painter can transform a three-dimensional still life into a two-dimensional painting, can an architect reverse this process, bringing the essence of a painting into built form? Through sixty-one imaginative projects—including serpentine structures, secret spaces, and maze-like houses—he delves into themes such as the relationship between Eastern and Western thought, the dialogue between art and architecture, and the connection between humans and nature. This collection serves as both a visual and philosophical journey, challenging conventional boundaries and inviting readers to reconsider the foundations of architectural thought.
