The painter’s problem of the rectilinear canvas, always approached frontally, is not an issue. But the characteristic push-pull of cubist space in painting could not be realised without the tension that exists in the diamond houses between rectilinear envelope and diagonal internal spatial organisation. Artists are invited to participate in the residence program in which they reside in the building to research the poetics of space in architecture. Wall House 2 (A. E.

I tried to transcribe faithfully Hejduk’s way of thinking about this drawing form, and tease out some of its mathematical and spatial implications – including inscribing a cylinder in the cube, which when projected produced a completely inexplicable measurement. 1966. These images are not meant to be deciphered and unpacked; instead, they are immediately available to the viewer, scanned one after the other in sequence, with the intention of telling a story. As with the first in the series, he used the wall to reinterpret the traditional configuration of the house in his design for the landscape architect Arthur Edward Bye.

See: Robert Slutzky, ‘Aqueous Humor’. They wear their erudition lightly and are open to a wide range of references – from media, other art practices and popular culture. Rotating a square plan 45-degrees (while maintaining the internal right-angled plan geometries) implies an infinite spatial field that is cut at the edge of the plan drawing. It involves a ‘make 2D’ top view of a 3D model that has been rotated and sheared at 45-degrees – which, ironically, replicates in the computer the analog operations of Eisenman’s axonometric model of House X (1978). The wall heightens that sens of passage, and by the same token, its thinness heightens the sense of it being just a momentary condition... what I call the moment of the present.". One of the difficulties of constructing a 90-degree axonometric is that since everything is on one plane, it involves measuring as much as projection. Wall House II design from the 1970s, built posthumously (Groningen, The Netherlands, 2001). Architecture. Passing from potential client to potential client, it was always being dropped before the beginning of construction due to lack of funding.
