Steven Holl
Ideas drive the designs of architect Steven Holl. In many cases his ideas spring from musical concepts. You move through a sequence of spaces as you move also through a musical sequence. Music is about time, and architecture is also about time. “Architecture surrounds you, in the same way as music surrounds you”.

FOCUS ON INTERIORS
The experience of space goes further than the tactile sense and involves sound, smell and light. Light is most crucial medium because of our predominantly visual nature. Looking always comes first; we move first with our eyes. Light gives space dimension, depth and perspective, so determining how we move. The Za-Koenji Theatre, the Peres Peace centre and the Kolumba Art Museum of the archdiocese are all examples of projects where light plays a big role. |
 
The interiors of several projects involving the use of floors and furniture surfacing from Forbo Flooring are included as a form of inspiration. The projects are located in various parts of the world and show the many possibilities provided by Forbo’s products.
