If the highly praised Kiasma museum in Finland is architect Steven Holl's largest and most public work to date, the much smaller chapel of St Ignatius in Seattle is his most private. In it, one sees distilled the themes and concerns that have made Holl one of the most respected architects practicing today. This work functions as a journal in the life of the chapel of St. Ignatius. From the author's preparatory watercolour sketches, to design development, to construction shots of the precast system, it reveals his working method as well as the finished building. Essays by Steven Holl and client Jerry Cobb introduce the book.
