Steven Holl is the founder and principal of Steven Holl Architects in New York and the designer of all projects ongoing in the office. Steven Holl Architects, established in 1977, has won many awards and his work has been presented at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 2001 France bestowed the Grande Médaille d'Or upon him, for Best Architect of the Academy of Architecture; and in the same year Time Magazine declared him "America's Best Architect" for his "buildings that satisfy the spirit as well as the eye." Holl has lectured and exhibited widely and has published numerous texts including Architecture Spoken (Rizzoli, 2007), Urbanisms: Working with Doubt (2009), Horizontal Skyscraper (2011), Color Light Time (2012), Scale (2012), and Urban Hopes (2013). Holl is a tenured professor in the Graduate School of Architecture and Planning at Columbia University and an architect in New York. Philip Jodidio was born in New Jersey in 1954. He studied art history and economics at Harvard before moving to Paris, where he was editor in chief of the French art monthly Connaissance des Arts from 1980 to 2002. Jodidio has written over 90 books about contemporary architecture and art including Tadao Ando: Venice, Tadao Ando at Naoshima, Tadao Ando Modern Art Museum of Ft. Worth, and I. M. Pei: The Complete Works for Rizzoli.
"Holl has masterfully advanced that luminist vision architecturally
through large-scale civic projects marked by lyrical sweeps of
seemingly sculpted light. This invaluable and impeccably designed
monograph concentrates, instead, on his homes, similarly
enlightened. The Ex of In House ingenuously creates a
918-square-foot house, geothermally and solar-powered, with no
bedroom, yet with inviting space to sleep five. A poetic
understanding of site as a home’s foundation informs Holl’s
masterful alchemy of wood and glass. These houses transcend being
objects and are experiences of how Holl’s understanding of site and
light enliven our sense of what “house” can mean."

"Sub-subtitled "Luminist Architecture," this handsome, slipcased
book documents seven Steven Holl houses completed over the last
twenty years, some of them on the architect's own property north of
New York City." —Archidose
"But his residential work, also steeped in structural energy-saving
methods, is really a testament to his love of nature and his
creativity in mining the gifts of natural light, as illustrated by
the seven houses he features in his new book, Steven Holl:
Seven Houses, from Rizzoli New York." —New York Magazine
