The Chapel of St. Ignatius Steven Holl Princeton Architectural Press | 2000: If the recently completed and highly praised Kiasma museum in Finland is architect Steven Holl's largest and most public work to date, his much smaller Chapel of St. Ignatius in Seattle is his most private and, in many ways, his most inspiring. In it, we see distilled the themes and concerns that have made Holl one of the most respected architects practicing today. This jewel-like chapel, while small, contains the essence of Holl's vision--his interest in the phenomenology of space, his passionate investigations of form and material, and his use of reflected light and color. This book functions as a journal in the life of this extraordinary building. From Holl's preparatory watercolor sketches, to design development and working drawing details, to construction shots showing the unique precast system, to a large photographic portfolio of the completed building, this book reveals Holl's working method as well as the finished building. Essays by Steven Holl and client Fr. Jerry Cobb introduce the book. The color photographs present the unique aspects of the design and its details. Our other books on Steven Holl's work are Anchoring and Intertwining.

Steven Holl: Written in Water Steven Holl, Lars Muller (Editor) Lars Muller Publishers | 2000: 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 inspirational. Edited by Lars Müller. Text by Steven Holl. Hardcover, 400 pages, 365 color images.

Steven Holl: Idea and Phenomena Steven Holl, Dietmar Steiner, Michael Bell Lars Muller Publishers | 2000: An overview of the built work of architect Steven Holl, Idea and Phenomena focuses on the sculptural expression inherent in his designs, material, composition, and use of light. Apparent in such projects as his Makuhari Housing in Chiba, Japan, where he designed a new city block on dredged fill at the rim of Tokyo Bay, Holl has devoted over 20 years of his professional life to exploring the use of movable walls for creating variety and what he calls ""spaces for individual life."" Even more essential to his oeuvre is what critic Herbert Muschamp has described as its ""astonishing sculptural presence,"" created from the ""strikingly assured interplay between windows and walls, curves and grids, voids and planes."" In his fine-fibered use of materials, Holl employs his principle of ""the stone and the feather,"" juxtaposing thin sheets of zinc roofing with rough concrete walls along knife-edged junctures. The results, as Idea and Phenomena clearly shows, from the first sketch to the final construction, are buildings alert to emotional needs, the spiritual properties of space, and the specifics of their own surroundings. Essays by Dietmar Steiner, Michael Bell, Wolf Prix and Yehuda E. Safran. Hardcover, 128 pages, 80 color and 20 b&w images.

Pamphlet Architecture 1-10 Steven Holl (Editor), William Stout (Editor) Princeton Architectural Press | 2000: To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the founding of Pamphlet Architecture, we are proudly reissuing the first ten issues--most of which have been long out of print--in one hardcover volume. This graphically stunning and theoretically stimulating collection includes the early works of many of today's best-known architects, including Steven Holl, Lars Lerup, Mark Mack, Lebbeus Woods, Zaha Hadid, Livio Dimitriu, and Alberto Sartoris. The Pamphlet Architecture series was founded in 1978 by architects Steven Holl and William Stout as a venue for publishing the thoughts and works of a younger generation of architects. Each issue was written, illustrated, and designed by a single architect, which gives each its unique character. The series, which received an American Institute of Architects award, continues to influence new generations of architects as it disseminates new and innovative ideas on architecture and presents the work of the luminaries of tomorrow.

Parallax Steven Holl Princeton Architectural Press | 2000: What makes Steven Holl one of the most celebrated architects working today? As we learn in Parallax, his success comes from his sculptural form making, his interest in the poetics of space, color, and materiality, and his fascination with scientific phenomena. Holl reveals his working methods in this, his biggest and most ambitious book yet on his work-part treatise, part manifesto, and part, as Holl writes, ""liner notes"" to fifteen recent projects, some never before published. Parallax traces Holl's ideas on topics as diverse as the ""chemistry of matter"" and the ""pressure of light,"" and shows how they emerge in his architectural work: ""strange attractors"" at Cranbrook, ""porosity"" in his new dormitory at MIT, ""tripleness"" in the new Bellevue Art Museum in Washington. The result is a book that provides a personal tour of the work of one of the world's most esteemed architects. Parallax is designed by Michael Rock of the award-winning design firm 2x4. It is our fourth book on Holl's work, following Anchoring, Intertwining, and The Chapel of St. Ignatius.

Intertwining: Selected Projects 1989-1995 Steven Holl Princeton Architectural Press | 1995: To his earlier articulated concept of anchoring which connects a construction with the history of the ground, locale, and region Holl adds the concept of intertwining, which is illuminated by sensory, perceptual, conceptual, and emotional experiences. Illustrates with drawings, plans, and photograph
