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.
