🏢 Architecture Spoken

Considered one of America's most important architects, Steven Holl is recognized for his ability to blend space and light with great contextual sensitivity and to utilize the unique qualities of each project to create a concept-driven design. His expansion of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art here in KC (the Bloch Building, opened 2007) is a highly celebrated & critically acclaimed project that is worth a visit! 

Assembled around four seminal lectures, Architecture Spoken covers the decisive ideas of architect Steven Holl. In an accessible and illuminating format, this book presents 24 recent projects arranged in four chapters chronologically parallel to the polemic of four talks given around the world since 2001: Pro-Kyoto, Compression, Porosity and Urbanisms.

Holl’s call for a “phenomenology of architecture” challenges us to rethink architectural intensity, and 21st century orderings with architecture as a catalyst, as well as to experiment with porosity and to make sustainability and site development fundamental to innovative and imaginative design. Celebrating architecture as an “instrument of knowledge and experience,” Architecture Spoken proposes that buildings should be an unending source of insight and inspiration.

The Hatch Reading Room, on the 4th floor of Marvin Hall, is here for you to de-stress, work on projects, take a break to read, and enjoy a quiet view of campus.

Open 9:00 am - 5:00 pm, Monday - Friday.  📚
