Steven Holl

An American architect and watercolorist, perhaps best known for the 1998 Kiasma Contemporary Art Museum in Helsinki, Finland, the 2003 Simmons Hall at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the celebrated 2007 Bloch Building addition to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri, and the praised 2009 Linked Hybrid mixed-use complex in Beijing, China.

 This is the design on his website, I really like the blocks and visible grid with uneven columns and rows and the highlighted blocks which is selected. I think we could take this style and idea of boxes and blocks and experiement with this in the layout.

 I like how the box is overlayed on top of an image but is because it is white it is quite subtle and the image is still visible.

A lot of the stuff I have looked at by Steven Holl seem to be blocks and squares/cubes and I think this could be a nice incormporation into the design for the eyarbook.
