Urbanisms : working with doubt by Steven Holl ( Book )
10 editions published between 2007 and 2010 in English and held by 256 libraries worldwide
"Contemporary urban development is increasingly characterized by a reliance on diagrams, maps, and graphs to convey the rational, statistical point of view of the professional urban planner. In his new book, Urbanisms, architect Steven Holl suggests that just as modern medicine has recognized the power of the irrational psyche, urban planners need to realize that the experiential power of cities cannot be completely rationalized and must be studied subjectively. With a selection of urban and architectural projects from his thirty-year practice, Holl stretches urban planning into the domain of uncertainty, from prose into poetry. Urbanisms examines how perception and the senses are intertwined with the material, space, and light of urban form."--BOOK JACKET.

House : black swan theory by Steven Holl ( Book )
10 editions published in 2007 in English and held by 233 libraries worldwide
"Steven Holl is known for an architecture that considers place, time, and the senses of the viewer. This philosophy has created some of the richest and most celebrated buildings of the past several decades. In Holl's own poetic voice, House describes fifteen residences (built and unbuilt) that give insight into the source of his unique architectural perspective, including his most current along with his best-known houses from the recent past. Ordered according to scale (largest to smallest), the houses in this book span the globe, ranging from a secluded location in Hawaii to the Catskill Mountains of New York, to Martha's Vineyard, to The Hague in the Netherlands. Through Holl's attempt to build into and with the site, these houses enhance and reveal the unique qualities of their locations. Holl inverts the usual universal-to-specific order by working from the specific toward the universal. By presenting a selection of his houses, Steven Holl suggests a "black swan" theory for architecture - mutable and unpredictable."--BOOK JACKET.

Questions of perception : phenomenology of architecture by Steven Holl ( Book )
9 editions published between 1994 and 2006 in 3 languages and held by 227 libraries worldwide
Third printing of the classic A+U 1994 special edition covering the work of Holl, Pallasmaa, and, Perez-Gomez, titled Questions of Perception. Their three individual essays presented in the book, are thematically linked; each one tries to explain the role man's perception plays in architecture and also explores phenomenal accounts. In their original introduction, the authors write: "The endless cultural limitations and contradictions inherent in artistic work, revealed with impeccable clarity and logic by the critics' deconstructive theory, are ultimately of limited use for the generation of architecture. The architect must take a position, one that necessarily has ethical consequences, and for which words, a theoretical discourse is nevertheless indispensable.
