Steven Holl celebrates the thirtieth anniversary of his landmark
book Anchoring with Compression, a collection of thirty-five major
projects from the past decade. Holl applies concepts from
neuroscience, literature, social science, and philosophy to develop
the idea of compression: the condensation of material and social
forces to create meaningful and sustainable architecture. A diverse
roster of international works includes an expansion of the Museum
of Fine Arts Houston ; academic facilities for Columbia University,
Princeton University, and the Glasgow School of Art; urban plans; a
harbor gateway for Copenhagen; and an extension of the Kennedy
Center for the Performing Arts. All demonstrate Holl's poetic
attention to light, space, and water; a subtle and tactile
employment of material and color; and an awareness of
architecture's potential to connect people through inspiring public
spaces.
