Exemplar Diagram- Google Sketch Up

The above image shows a diagram of The Wall House by John Hejduk, completed using Google Sketch Up.  I found that one of the most important aspects of The Wall House is the special dependence upon the wall itself.  The other elements of the house seem to hang upon it, both physically and conceptually.  From the front, the three stacked spaces seemingly depend directly upon the wall as a backbone.  So too, the rear corridor connects directly to the wall.  Those primary elements that connect directly to the wall have been colored yellow.  Secondary elements like the spiral staircase and the fourth space have been colored in blue.  Not only do the individual elements structurally depend upon the wall, but Hejduk's concept hangs on the wall as well.  You can read a summary of the concept of The Wall House in my second blog post below. 

         The wall, representing the present, stands between two distinct realms: the future and the past.  The concept is that we move from the past to the future through the present (the wall).  Thus, both the future and the past directly depend on the present.  The above diagram demonstrates this dependence on the present by illustrating the house's structural dependence on the wall.
