John Hejduk

the fundamental issue of architecture is,
if it does affect the spirit or doesn´t ,
if it doesn´t affect the spirit, it´s building,
if it affects the spirit, it´s architecture...

Black Barn

This project was built in 1973 during what Stanley Tigerman calls his "Surrealist Phase," a phase in which he sees himself under the influence of John Hedjuk and the possibility of a formal symbolic vocabulary in architecture. The house is covered in black shingles and asphalt.

Beath Rothen

The house rests like a monolith in the slope. Simple and powerful in its typology. The result of intensive search for the materialization is a masonry with an outer shell made of ribbed cement blocks.

Bio Towers

Bio-towers in Lauchhammer were used to purify wastewater from the town's coking plant by way of internal trickling filters. These days the structures are used to educate people about the area’s industrial history through guided tours and exhibitions.
