“John Hejduk: The Riga Project” is a set of three books that introduces the 1987 fabrication process of two large scale structures – Object/Subject – by the prominent American architect and educator John Hejduk at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. The reissued 1989 edition is complemented with two additional books – a Latvian translation, which expands on the two opaque anthropomorphic structures, and “Act Two: The Riga Project”, which initiates the reenactment of Hejduk’s ‘Riga’ in Riga and elsewhere in Latvia.
