Steven Holl

Steven Holl is an architect whose work is defined by a phenomenological approach, exploring the existential and bodily engagement of humans with their surroundings. This shift in his creative output was influenced by his deep interest in the writings of philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty and architectural theorist Juhani Pallasmaa. His designs invite a profound experience of space, emphasizing its sensory perception. Holl's architecture encourages a deeper immersion in and visceral understanding of the built environment.
