Description: Rare Hejduk title, belonged to Iowa State University. They added the hardcover and stamped it on several pages. Each page is actually connected to the next page, so only one side is printed on. There is one fold out at the front. John Hejduk graduated from the the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in 1950. In 1964 he returned to the institution to teach in the School of Art and Architecture. In 1975, he became Dean of the School of Architecture, where he developed the school's renowned pedagody for the next 25 years. In Hejduk's words; " I believe in the social contract therefore I teach. I believe that the University is one of the last places that protects and preserves freedom, therefore teaching is also a socio/political act, among other things. I believe in books and the written word, therefore I fabricate works with the hope that they will be recorded in books. I am pragmatic and believe in keeping records. I believe to record is to bear witness. The book I wrote, Victims is to bear witness and to remember. I believe in the density of the sparse. I believe in place and the spirit of place."
