With The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City and the Linked Hybrid in Beijing recently being respectively awarded first and third place in Time Magazines article 10 Best Architectural Marvels´, the singular vision of Stephen Holl and his offices has begun to achieve widespread recognition. El Croquis presents a selection of 19 works and projects, some unrealised, produced between 2003 and 2008, which demonstrate the depth of the office´s approach. Alongside the two above-mentioned projects, other highlights include: The Nail Collector´s´ and Writing with Light´ Houses; The New Residence at the Swiss Embassy, Washington; The NYU Department of Philosophy renovation; and the Vanke Center, Shenzhen, China still under construction. All projects are generously illustrated with full page photographs, sketches, technical drawings and introductory texts.
