Wedding in a Dark Plum Room

John Hejduk
Edited by Kim Shkapich
An architectural journey traversing a mental/physical landscape of architectural sites, churches, chapels, and cathedrals. The landscape was developed out of the influence of Spain on the architect. Framed in seven chapters: Crossings, Sites, Rituals, Wedding in a Dark Plum Room, Sacraments, Testaments, and Journeys; the book is scripted with water colors, ink drawings, and texts. The narrative unfolds between framed views, reading space, drawings, and texts that have formed a solid.
