The House of the Suicide and The House of the Mother of the Suicide

John Hejduk was an American architect and theorist whose work interrogated the relationship between drawing, building, and philosophical inquiry. Operating primarily through built and unbuilt projects, he developed a distinctive approach to architectural design that treated the act of drawing as a conceptual and generative tool equal to construction itself. His practice spanned five decades in the postwar period, marked by a commitment to teaching and the production of intricate, often enigmatic architectural drawings that challenged conventional notions of function and form.
