Steven Holl Reihenfolge der Bücher

Internationally recognized for his ability to blend space and light with great contextual sensitivity, architect Steven Holl achieves his award-winning designs by beginning each commission with a small watercolor exploring light, color, and form. Paintings help Holl create a concept-driven design that showcases the unique qualities of each project. This collection of watercolors, which are works of art themselves, includes his most recent projects, from the JFK Center for the Performing Arts expansion and Hunters Point Public Library to University College Dublin.

Focusing on the newly constructed expansion of the Kennedy Center, this book explores innovative designs for performing arts centers while showcasing the artistic process. It highlights the vision of a prominent American architect, offering insights into how the space enhances artistic expression and community engagement.

Steven Holl celebrates the thirtieth anniversary of his landmark book Anchoring with Compression, a collection of thirty-five major projects from the past decade. Holl applies concepts from neuroscience, literature, social science, and philosophy to develop the idea of compression: the condensation of material and social forces to create meaningful and sustainable architecture. A diverse roster of international works includes an expansion of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston ; academic facilities for Columbia University, Princeton University, and the Glasgow School of Art; urban plans; a harbor gateway for Copenhagen; and an extension of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. All demonstrate Holl's poetic attention to light, space, and water; a subtle and tactile employment of material and color; and an awareness of architecture's potential to connect people through inspiring public spaces.

This is the first publication of Steven Holls legendary watercolors.

The book gives an overview on the built work of Steven Holl, focusing the sculptural expression of his architecture, material, composition, use of light.

This booklet describes Steven Holl Architects' design of a prototype for rebuilding Haiti after the devastating earthquake in 2010. This proposal focuses on the construction of "Dense-Pack Villages": small communities of two hundred people with homes constructed of concrete recycled from the rubble and built by local labour. The Dense-Pack homes have a low energy footprin, each village has a solar-powered desalination plant to provide fresh water, and the houses' roofs contain photovoltaic panels to generate electricity

Das HEART Herning Museum of Contemporary Art in Herning in Dänemark ist ein neuer Museumskomplex aus der Werkstatt des namhaften amerikanischen Architekten Steven Holl. Das Konzept löst die komplexe Bauaufgabe ganz im Sinne Piero Manzoni, dem Spiritus Rector von Herning. Der Konzeptkünstler war 1960 vom Hemdenfabrikanten Aage Damgaard für eine jahrelange fruchtbare Zusammenarbeit in die Stadt geholt worden. Holls Kulturkomplex strukturiert die umgebenden Landschaft durch Hügel und Teiche und lässt sie Teile der notwendigen Infrastruktur verbergen. Seine mit einer Brauchwasseranlage, natürlichem Licht und innovativer Dachkonstruktion ausgestatteten Gebäude sind eingeschossig und schließen an die Formensprache der gegenüber liegenden Fabrik aus den Sechzigerjahren in der Kreisform eines Kragens an: Sie erinnern aus der Vogelperspektive an lang gestreckte Hemdenärmel. Eröffnung des Museums: HEART – Herning Museum of Contemporary Art, Herning 9.9.2009

A+U 1994 special edition covering the work of Holl, Pallasmaa, and, Perez-Gomez, titled Questions of Perception. Their three individual essays presented in the book, are thematically linked; each one tries to explain the role man's perception plays in architecture and also explores phenomenal accounts. In their original introduction, the authors write: "The endless cultural limitations and contradictions inherent in artistic work, revealed with impeccable clarity and logic by the critics' deconstructive theory, are ultimately of limited use for the generation of architecture. The architect must take a position, one that necessarily has ethical consequences, and for which words, a theoretical discourse is nevertheless indispensable.Bilingually presented in English and Japanese.

Built as a diary, the 365 watercolors reproduced in Written in Water represent the creative process of famed American architect Steven Holl. Holl's highly individual method of capturing in watercolors his initial ideas and sketches for all major buildings and competition projects was developed over many years. As an architect, Holl is known for the sculptural qualities he gives to structures and for his genuine use of light -- two qualities which are in tune with the characteristics of the watercolor technique. Among the increasingly high-tech working methods common to his profession, Steven Holl's reliance on a highly artistic and resolutely low-tech process becomes spectacular and inspiration.
