Description

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.

Reviews

"The most recent edition of Moleskine's 'Inspiration and Process' sketchbooks is dedicated to Steven Holl, whose gestural watercolors, sketches, and enigmatic poems are perfect for the casual medium-and perhaps a stocking or two." - AIA New York
