Sanctuaries: The Last Works of John Hejduk
Editorial Reviews Book Description This compact book, which accompanies an exhibition at the Whitney Museum, pays tribute to John Hejduk (1929-2000), one of the most original figures in American architecture and design.
Best know for his visionary works on paper and his influence on students at Cooper Union, New York, where he was Dean for 25 years, Hejduk in his last years moved from the mathematical concerns of his earlier designs toward an allegorical mode that exalted architecture's spiritual function. His lyrical last works explore themes of falls from grace, itinerancy, passage and transformation, and, above all, architecture as sanctuary. About the Author K. Michael Hays, Adjunct Curator of Architecture, Whitney Museum of American Art, is a leading architectural theorist and historian and Eliot Noyes Professor of Architecture Theory at Harvard University Graduate School of Design. Maxwell L. Anderson is Alice Pratt Brown Director of the Whitney Museum. Toshiko Mori is an architect and Chair of the Department of Architecture at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design.
