Books Descriptions
Following Written in Water (2002), this is the second publication devoted
to Steven Holl?s legendary watercolors. Four hundred watercolors
represent the creative process of this renowned and influential American
architect and reveal his highly personal method developed over many
years, containing preliminary ideas and sketches of all major projects.Holl
is known for his sculptural architecture and his virtuosic use of light, and
watercolors are the ideal means to visualize these characteristic aspects
of his work. At a time of rapidly changing technology in the service of
architectural design, these watercolors become spectacular examples of a
low-tech method. The results are invariably original works of art. The
water colors are juxtaposed with photographs of the built architecture
and emphasize the crucial aspect of scale.
