Book DescriptionIf the recently completed and highly praised Kiasma museum in Finland is architect Steven Holl'slargest and most public work to date, his much smaller Chapel of St. Ignatius in Seattle is his mostprivate and, in many ways, his most inspiring. In it, we see distilled the themes and concerns tahthave made Holl one of the most respected architects practicing today. This jewel-like chapel,while small, contains the essence of Holl's vision-his interest in the phenomenology of space, hispassionate investigations of form and material, and his use of reflected light and color. This bookfunctions as a journal in the life of this extraordinary building. From Holl's preparatory watercolorsketches, to design development and working drawing details, to construction shots showing theunique precast system, to a large photographic portfolio of the completed building, this bookreveals Holl's working method as well as the finished building. Essays by Steven Holl and clientFr. Jerry Cobb introduce the book. The color photographs present the unique aspects of the designand its details.
