The Architectural Archive and Research Building, Ex of IN House, ‘T’ Space, and other projects on the Steven Myron Holl Foundation’s woodland campus were featured in a new book Upstate Now: Art, Design, and Rural Life in the Hudson Valley and Catskills, by photographer Michael Arnaud and writer Jane Creech.
The book offers a fresh take on what it means to live a creative, rooted life in the Hudson Valley.
“Holl’s presence anchors Upstate Now in a lineage that stretches from Frederic Church’s Olana to the Bauhaus emigres who summered in the Catskills. Arnaud photographs the spare, white volumes of T Space dappled with Hudson Valley light, suggesting that for Holl, drawing and building are parallel acts of translation: How to make ideas manifest in wood, glass, and shadow. The book positions Holl not just as a celebrated architect but as a neighbor, part of the upstate fabric.”
