This Steven Holl monograph (eds. Michel Jacques and Annette Nève (Birkhäuser & arc en rêve centre d’architecture 1993) presents Holl’s early works and new minimalism. Foreword by Kenneth Frampton; essay by Frédéric Migayrou; original texts by Steven Holl.
The work of New York architect Steven Holl is hallmarked by a new minimalism. This process of refinement – reference to Japanese Modernity – is expressed by an authenticity of construction, and an architecture that is at once simple and complex. To Steven Holl’s mind, architecture goes beyond physical and functional requirements by merging with the site in a relationship that is both metaphysical and poetic. Steven Holl draws abstract compositions which are the springboard for the conceptual development of the project. The catalogue sheds new light on more than twenty projects dran up between 1983 and [1993], seven of which have been constructed in the United States, Japan and Europe.
