Color, Light, Time [ COLOR, LIGHT, TIME BY Holl, Steven ( Author ) May-01-2012

by Jordi Safont-tria

In this publication, the current work of New York-based Steven Holl-an outstanding representative of contemporary American architecture-is the subject of a detailed examination that is orientated by a focus on archetypical aspects of visual perception. For nearly three decades now, Steven Holl has developed his architectural stance and his reflections on architecture with striking consistency. The success of his work can be attributed to its sculptural shaping, his interest in the poetics of space, colour, light, and material, and his fascination with scientific phenomena. With essays by Jordi Safont-Tria, Sanford Kwinter, and Steven Holl that discuss various dimensions of temporality vis a vis processes of creation, utilizations, and perception in architecture.

There are definitely times this book seems like more of an advertisement for Holl than the highly refined academic scripture it poses as. How much more does the bounced color really do for a typical patron (especially compared to non-bounced light)? if you read this book you might think it cured some ne'er-do-well-ers terminal disease
