Description

Steven Holl celebrates the thirtieth anniversary of his landmark book Anchoring with Compression. This collection of thirty-five major projects from the past decade showcases Holl's unique approach to architecture, which draws on concepts from neuroscience, literature, social science, and philosophy. Holl's work is characterized by a poetic attention to light, space, and water, as well as a subtle and tactile employment of material and color. This book features a diverse range of international works, including expansions of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, academic facilities for several universities, urban plans, and public spaces that aim to connect people. Through his designs, Holl demonstrates an awareness of architecture's potential to create meaningful and sustainable buildings that inspire and engage users. With Compression, he shares his vision for a more connected and responsive built environment.
