Nevermind! But what about this??

BERLIN NIGHT
John Hejduk

Hejduk leads us into the space of amazement and imagination–the chora of poetic thought, the liminal space of the feast and the game.—Wim van den Bergh

For an American architect John Hejduk's architecture is a world of history, emotions, practical ingenuity and visions of the future. In his view, new buildings too must be the bearers of inspiration and narratives. He gives voice to this contention with extensive explorations and peerless sign language. The essay with which the publication opens, by the dutch architect Wim van den Bergh, indicates how Hejduk's work leads to the essence of architecture.

Published to coincide with the opening of the new building of the Netherlands Architecture Institute. The exhibition Verschoven Fundamenten/Adjusting Foundations, The Work of John Hejduk, Architect was opened on this occassion, among others.Designed by Piet Gerards bno, Heerlen.

So I've established that this is a book, now I must find it!!

Could this be?

For Hejduk, the good architect “starts with the abstract
moves towards the real world, at the
finish is as close to the original abstraction
as possible."
This idea is related by Barbaro in his commentary on Vitruvius’ Ten Books on Architecture:
“The artist works first in the intellect and conceives in the mind and symbolizes then
the exterior matter after the interior image, particularly in architecture.”16 It is doubtful,
however, that Hejduk is relating the proximity of architecture to Platonic Form as Barbaro
was. This idea is remarkably similar to Kahn’s “Form” and the Michelangelo notion of an
architecture tracing its own concept. They stand together on this idea.
Hejduk is at one level attempting to fill in voids in the history,
“I am like a fly that comes in and says, ‘Ok, here is one aspect
that has been left out, yet which has great potentiality, it should
be wrapped up’.”
Hejduk also attempts “To go deep and try to understand the
American.” The America of Poe, Melville, and Hopper; the
uneasiness, the tension, the grey, the void, the harsh and essential
aspects of American culture.
