Monograph on Steven Holl, who has become a leading figure on the American architecture scene.
“Steven Holl, like Le Corbusier, is as much a painter as he is an architect”, writes Kenneth Frampton in the introduction. The facts support his claim, or namely the very personal propensity of Steven Holl to make conceptual sketches free of the effective constraints of the design. The book devotes ample space to the magnificent watercolor sketches that reveal the profound artistic sensibility of the architect.
Kenneth Frampton presents Holl’s work in four sections – City limits, Residential complexes, Public buildings, Single-family houses – preceded by a critical essay.
