Dog House, 2007-2016
The inception of the Dog House project can be traced back to an architecture studio course at Ohio State. During a desk critique, my instructor introduced the work of John Hejduk. Hejduk's work had a profound impact on me. His poetic and symbolic work is encased in a modernist tradition, with direct references to poetry and indirect references to the grand ‘speaking’ architecture of Ledoux. Additionally, the architectural project "New Babylon" by the 1960s Situationist painter and sculptor Constant Nieuwenhuys was a significant influence. His connection to the Situationists and his approach to political issues are key reasons for this. This idea should be explored with greater depth.
