Steven Holl: Questions of Perception
Steven Holl revisits Questions of Perception, the 1994 text he co-authored with Alberto Pérez-Gómez and Juhani Pallasmaa, in which Holl explores the phenomenology of architecture through eleven phenomenal zones: enmeshed experience; perspectival space; of color; of light and shadow; spatiality of night; time, duration, and perception; water: a phenomenal lens; of sound; detail: the haptic realm; proportion, scale, and perception; site, circumstance, and idea.
Incorporating recent projects by Steven Holl Architects realized after the books publication, Holl recasts the phenomenal zones and connects new built works with these original concepts.
