// 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

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,

Huge Low Poly Art Sculptures And Installations By David Mesguich
David Mesguich, a street artist and globetrotter, makes large installations that leaves where everyone can see them, in the public spaces of countries like France, Belgium and Poland.
Huge installations that are designed to shake the social consciousness, as in the case of his latest project “Stateless“, a series where the protagonists are migrants who fight against the borders and the Holy Europe watching from the sideline.
