This is a monograph devoted to one of the leading architects on the contemporary scene. Born at Bremerton in the state of Washington in 1947, Steven Holl studied architecture at the University of Washington at Seattle, and later on in Rome and at the Architectural Association in London. He has worked both in the United States and in Europe, and a great deal in the East, especially in Japan. His most important designs, notable for their respect for the cultural and historical environment they are set in, include the Makuhari residential complex in Japan, the St Ignatius chapel of the University of Seattle, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki and the extension of the Cranbrook Institute of Science at Bloomfield Hills in Michigan. Professor at the Graduate School of Architecture of Columbia University, Holl has taught courses and lectures in other institutions around the United States and abroad. He has won many awards, including the Arnold W. Brunner prize for architecture in 1990 and the Alvar Aalto medal in 1998.
