The buildings of the Israeli architect Zvi Hecker (*1931) as well as his drawings are considered today to be part of a "collective architectural consciousness“. At the same time, he has always succeeded in evading canonization. Contrary to all efforts, his work cannot be classified by architectural-historical interpretations or isms until today.

His work on architecture is a process that has always remained open over 60 years. Since the genesis of his work, as a totality of the built and unbuilt, is based to a very substantial degree on hand drawing, its observation forms a basis for understanding his concepts and ideas.
