Steven Holl Architects has released its new book entitled "Steven Holl: Seven Houses" with contributions by Philip Jodidio, published by Rizzoli.  The book will launched with two events in the New York-area in November. 

On Saturday, November 10, Steven Holl will discuss Steven Holl: Seven Houses with a presentation and book signing at Oblong Books in Rhinebeck, New York. The event begins at 7pm, and is free and open to the public. 

On Tuesday, November 13, the Rizzoli Bookstore in New York will host a conversation between Steven Holl and Wendy Goodman, New York Magazine’s Design Editor, to celebrate the publication. The talk begins at 6pm, with a booksigning to follow. The event is free and open to the public.

Through new texts, watercolors, and more than 100 photographs, the book offers a close look at seven residences designed by Steven Holl Architects. In addition, the book includes Holl’s essay “Luminist Architecture,” which explores the importance of light, natural landscapes, and spatial energy.

This volume features seven of Steven Holl Architects’ residential works, including two new homes finished in 2017. Despite their varying locations and scales, the houses are connected in their use of natural light, material, and detail. Viewed as a collection, the projects exemplify the luminist qualities of Holl’s work, inspired by the light of New York’s Hudson Valley.

Steven Holl: Seven Houses serves as a companion to his previous Rizzoli book, Steven Holl: Architecture Spoken, published in 2007.
