Architecture: Campbell Sports Center of Columbia University by Steven Holl Architects – Review – ‘A Sports Complex Shows Its Brains and Brawn’ by Michael Kimmelman in The New York Times: “..The center, designed by Steven Holl and Chris McVoy, of Steven Holl Architects, the New York firm, is a trifle beside Mr. Holl’s mega office and residential projects in China and elsewhere. And it’s not a beauty. But it is a tough, sophisticated and imaginative work of architecture for a devilish site..Mr. Holl took on something vaguely similar a few years ago for the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, inserting an addition to its architecture school into a tricky, dissonant space connecting two 19th-century buildings. In this case the challenge is a neglected hilly corner..its facade a mix of irregular blocks and voids, quasi-Cubist, crisscrossed by exterior stairways. All sorts of cuts, setbacks, overhangs and terraces animate the design..”

Architecture + Design: Dignifying Design: “..(A) new breed of public-interest designers proceeds from a belief that everybody deserves good design, whether in a prescription bottle label that people can more easily read and understand, a beautiful pocket park to help a city breathe or a less stressful intake experience at the emergency room. Dignity may be to the burgeoning field of public-interest design as justice is to the more established public-interest law..” Excellent, inspirational, motivational article on public-interest design and architecture in The New York Times..
The article includes a 9-image slideshow, here.

Architecture: Architecture and the Lost Art of Drawing by Michael Graves, Architect: “..IT has become fashionable in many architectural circles to declare the death of drawing.

A 15-image slideshow accompanies the article, here.
