// I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free //

// The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection //

// Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it //

// My soul can find no staircase to Heaven unless it be through Earth's loveliness //

”David” - Michelangelo Buonarroti // Galleria dell Accademia, Florence, Italy

Many people talk about how Cellini's depiction of Perseus with the head of Medusa is disturbing because Perseus is shown holding her head victoriously/full of pride, but if you view the statue from below this is literally his face:

It seems to be an effect Michelangelo's Statue of David has too, with the difference that the angles are reversed. If you watch the statue from below David seems glorious and has a god-like appearance, but if you watch it from above you realize that he is in fact afraid, because in that scene he's supposed to look at Goliath.

John Hejduk, "Wall House No. 2,"

Hoornse Meer, Groningen, Netherlands,

John Hejduk originally designed Wall House No. 2 in 1973 as a weekend retreat for landscape architect Arthur Edward Bye. The House was to be built in Ridgefield, Connecticut, United States. However, it wasn’t until 2001 that the structure was built as part of the Blue Moon architecture festival in Groningen. 

In this project, Hejduk uses the wall to reinterpret the traditional configuration of a house: instead of presenting the different spaces enclosed within the perimeter walls, in the Wall House 2 the rooms and the circulation systems are physically isolated from each other.

The kitchen, dining room, bedroom and living room are stacked curvilinear volumes, vertically linked by an independent circular staircase and connected to a study by a long corridor.

The wall, which Hejduk establishes between the rooms and the circulation systems so that one has to go through it to move from one room to another, becomes a passing line, a limit. A palette of yellow, green, black, brown and gray reinforces the division of the function of each volume.

Since 2004, Wall House has served cultural purposes under the Stichting Wall House Number 2 foundation, hosting artist residencies, public tours, events, and functioning as a knowledge center.

Built by Thomas Muller / van Raimann Architekten and Otonomo Architecten studios,
