A.E. Bye House in Ridgefield, Connecticut - John Hejduk via The Architectural League of New York
In the middle sixties Hejduk began the wall house series. The so-called second wall house, the A.E. Bye House of 1971, will be constructed on a wooded site in Ridgefield, Connecticut. In the wall house series the traditional concept of a building as a series of rooms within an enclosed volume is altered, and rooms and circulation systems are extracted from the enclosed volume and stand as isolated circulation system. Large walls that do not enclose space but mark off location in space are major components of this system. It is mandatory to pass through these walls to gain access to the circulation system. Hejduk isolates the wall to intensify its meaning. “Life,” Hejduk has written, “has to do with walls; we are continuously going in and out back and forth and through them.”
