With its striking gridded facade and amoeba-shaped internal cavities, Steven Holl's new dormitory for MIT, Simmons Hall, is without question one of the most original and idiosyncratic architectural statements of recent memory. A veritable catalog of ideas -- from the use of color to experimentation with form and materials -- Simmons Hall is an essay in architectural imagination by one of the professions' most celebrated practitioners.
This detailed monograph will allow readers to deconstruct this complex marvel of modern design and construction. Steven Holl Architects/Simmons Hall is documented with sketches, models, renderings, working drawings, and photographs at a level of detail that allow complete and careful study of the project. Commentary by the architect and design critics explores both the technical aspects and cultural contexts of the building.

Blanda. Etat : New. Etat de la jaquette : Nuevo. No Aplica (illustrateur). 0. The award-winning Simmons Hall, completed in 2002, is Steven Holl?s "vertical slice of a city" and urban microcosm on the Massachisetts Institute of Technology campus. Motivated by the sea sponge and the idea of porosity, Holl invents a highly innovative structure that inspires its residents and compels them to revel in the unexpected. Immense interior voids, irregular and arrhythmic geometrical holes that form unecpected public spaces, as well as extraordinarily adaptable modular wooden furnishings, create a kinetic work-in-progress to be dictated by one?s experience of the space and the whims of its occupants. Holl, whose tactile architecture has been celebrated as "buildings that satisfy the spirit as well as the eye", has channeled his love of sculptural shapes, details, and inventive and origial use of light, space, color, and material in Simmons Hall to find its rightful place in the company of Alvar Alto?s Baker House, and Eero Saarinen?s chapel and his Kresge Auditorium at MIT. 580 gr.
