Wall House 2 (A. E. Bye House) Project , Ridgefield, Connecticut (Isometric)

John Hejduk

1973

An isometric crayon drawing on sepia diazotype by John Hejduk proposing Wall House 2, in which a long, sculptural wall becomes the organizing spine for a sequence of colorful, rounded rooms and vertical elements that rethink domestic composition.

Set against a warm sepia ground, softly stippled crayon strokes define a strict isometric perspective where muted orange, green, and pink pod‑like volumes cling to and hover around a long ash‑grey wall, producing a quietly playful yet rigorously measured presence.

Hejduk's Wall House drawings fuse narrative, geometry, and poetics to turn architectural drawing into a form of conceptual storytelling, expanding how architects used representation to question function and inspire later experimental practices.
