Hejduk is noted for having had a profound interest in the fundamental issues of shape, organization, representation, and reciprocity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis 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 colors.[1] To aid his research he was awarded a grant from the Graham Foundation in 1967. Eventually, John Hejduk's \"hard-line\" modernist space-making exercises, heavily influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, moved away from his interests in favor of free-hand \"figure\/objects\" influenced by mythology and spirituality, clearly expressing the nature of his poetry. The relationship between Hejduk's shape\/objects and their surroundings is a controversial subject, raising questions similar to those raised by the early houses of Peter Eisenman.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe architectural historian K. Michael Hays has described Hejduk's architecture as one of \"Encounter\", describing Hejduk's objects as seeming \"impossibly, to be aware of us, to address us. And yet we see not the gratifying reflection of ourselves we had hoped for but another thing, looking back at us, watching us, placing us\", articulating Hejduk's work from a post-modern Lacanian perspective as more \"literary\" than that of his peers.\" - Wikipedia\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"formerly Shakespeare and Company Books, now VIcarious Experience","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40289085522029,"sku":"","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0374\/0649\/products\/20220827_161304.jpg?v=1661646766"},{"product_id":"luis-barragan-an-inner-life-recollections-by-adriana-williams-9-from-an-edition-of-60-copies","title":"Luis Barragán: An Inner Life : Recollections by Adriana Williams.  #9 from an edition of 60 copies.","description":"Luis Barragán: An Inner Life : Recollections by Adriana Williams.

As bridgeheads for African exploration, neutral territories for conducting diplomacy, headquarters for armies, providers of home comforts for writers, painters, scholars, and archaeologists in the field, and social hubs for an international elite, more of importance happened in Egypt's hotels than in any other setting. It was through the hotels that visitors from the west--the earliest adventurers, then the travelers and, finally, the tourists--experienced the Orient. This book tells the stories of Egypt's historic hotels (including the Cecil, Shepheard's, Mena House, Gezira Palace, Semiramis, Winter Palace and Cataract) and some of the people who stayed in them, from Amelia Edwards, Lucie Duff Gordon, and Florence Nightingale to Agatha Christie, Conan Doyle, Winston Churchill, and T E Lawrence - From a dust jacket blurb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"formerly Shakespeare and Company Books, now VIcarious Experience","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41654472671341,"sku":"","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0374\/0649\/files\/20240629_172819.jpg?v=1719708449"},{"product_id":"offices-of-hideo-sasaki-a-corporate-history-by-melanie-simo-2001-hardcover-with-dust-jacket","title":"Offices of Hideo Sasaki  a Corporate History by Melanie Simo.

And if it is possible to relate Hejduk's work in the context of the above generational structure, it can be seen that the period of the seven \"Texas\" houses corresponds roughly to the 10 year period when young architects went into teaching. \u003cbr\u003e        Hejduk's generation between 1945 and 1955 was taught a version of modern architecture by teachers who were essentially trained in the pre war Beaux Arts system. Mies, Gropius, and Wright were the initial \"modern\" influences on these students. In this context, where asymmetrical and contrapuntal dynamics were thought to be the touchstone of modernism, the introduction of the dominant theme of a classical nine-square parti in the \"Texas\" houses was both anachronistic and seemingly academic, as it is perhaps both an  anachronistic and refreshing today.\" From the Eisenman introduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"formerly Shakespeare and Company Books, now VIcarious Experience","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45358179221613,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0374\/0649\/files\/20260620_174131.jpg?v=1782003203"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandcobooks.com\/collections\/architecture.oembed?page=2","provider":"formerly Shakespeare and Company Books, now VIcarious Experience","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
