Steven Holl: Making Architecture - new publication KA and GVUO

The first Czech-English monograph of internationally recognized American architect Steven Holl was created as a companion publication to the world tour of his traveling exhibition titled Making Architecture. How to "make architecture" according to Steven Holl can be learned from a series of texts by various authors (Nina Stritzler-Levine, Kerry Dean Carso, Peter Olshavsky, Rostislav Švácha, Juhani Pallasmaa, and others), as well as from an interview recorded by Petr Šmídek during the architect's recent visits to the Czech Republic. In addition to Holl's significant projects from earlier times, the book introduces projects from his latest creative period, including the design of a new concert hall for Ostrava and the transformation of the entrance area of the Ghetto Museum in Terezín. The book is richly illustrated with photographs from the realization of Holl's buildings, as well as his world-famous conceptual watercolors.

The publication was released on the occasion of the exhibition in Ostrava and Prague.
