Scale, Written in Water, Urban Hopes, Color Light Time

Known for his sculptural architecture and his virtuosic use of light ranging, Steven Holl, one of the most outstanding representatives of contemporary American architecture, is at the heart of this group of books ranging from “Color Light Time,” a selection of his works spanning nearly three decades, to “Written in Water” and “Scale,” both devoted to Steven Holl’s legendary watercolors. At a time of rapidly changing technology in the service of architectural design, these watercolors become spectacular examples of a low-tech method. And finally, “Urban Hopes” shows how embracing what could dominate us — the city, infrastructure and overpopulation — has become a part of the process of Steven Holl Architects as the office took on work of increasing complexity and scale in China.

Steven Holl

Steven Holl (*1947) is one of the most important architects in America. He founded Steven Holl Architects in 1976 and has realized award-winning projects worldwide such as the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma in Helsinki, the Nanjing Sifang Art Museum in Nanjing, China, or the LM Harbor Gateway in Copenhagen, Denmark. Holl’s planning is influenced not only by the surroundings, the architecture and the purposes, but also by his peculiar attention to the interconnection of architecture and visual and performing arts, physics and music. He is a tenured professor at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture and Planning and has taught at the University of Washington, the Pratt Institute, and the University of Pennsylvania.
