Summary:

The fonds documents the professional practice of architect John Hejduk. It chiefly illustrates and includes architectural, installation, exhibition, publishing, design, and urban planning projects by Hejduk, notably his student work of the late 1940s and early 1950s, the Texas House and Diamond House series of the 1950s and 1960s, the Wall Houses and Masques of the 1970s and 1980s, and the late work of the 1990s: Berlin Night, Soundings, Vladivostok, Adjusting Foundations, and Pewter Wings, Golden Horns and Stone Veils. Material in this fonds was produced between 1947 and 2000. The fonds contains architectural drawings, representing nearly every project by John Hejduk (and his firm), and including predominantly presentation drawings and panels, conceptual, design and design development drawings, and also including some working drawings. A number of Hejduk's sketchbooks and artist's books, as well as one study model and seventeen presentation models, are present in the fonds.
