Steven Holl Architects is an architecture and urban design office working globally as one office from two locations: New York City and Beijing. With each project, the firm explores new ways of integrating an organizing idea with the programmatic and functional essence of a building, "always using the unique character of a program and a site as the starting point for an architectural idea." Major works include Kiasma Contemporary Art Museum in Helsinki, Finland, the 2003 Simmons Hall at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the 2009 Linked Hybrid mixed-use complex in Beijing, China. The Raffles City complex in Chengdu, China, includes artist and architect Lebbeus Woods' only permanent structure, The Light Pavilion.
Introduced and moderated by Sanford Kwinter, writer, theorist, and professor of architectural theory and criticism at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and codirector of the Master's in Design Studies Program.

HOW DO WE LOOK?

What happens when talented engineers are challenged to draw from their scientific mindsets and express themselves artistically? The end result is both calculating and fascinating. Featuring the distortion of time and space, students of the Albert Nerken School of Engineering produced artistic portfolios that illustrate both their creativity and technical training and, ultimately, how they view themselves and the world.
On view from December 2 - December 8
Located in the Arthur A. Houghton Jr. Gallery, 7 East 7th Street, 2nd Floor, between Third and Fourth Avenues
