Compression

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.
