The acts of sketching<\/a> and model-making<\/a> traditionally provide architects with much of their inspiration at the outset of the creative process. However, some move further into the realms of art to help them visualize their concepts, enjoying the fluidity and flexibility of paint and, in particular, the free-flowing qualities of watercolors. One such architect is American Steven Holl<\/a>, who adopted the brush as an efficient way of transferring his ideas to paper.<\/p>\n

Steven Holl in his New York office. \u00a9 2005 Vladimir Paperny<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cI used to do pencil drawings. Those took eight hours,\u201d reflects the architect. \u201cAround 1979, I streamlined it to five-by-seven-inch watercolors. With the watercolor, in the quickest way, I can shape a volume, cast a shadow, indicate the direction of the sun in a very small format. And I can carry these things around because I am always traveling.\u201d<\/p>\n

As shown in Phaidon\u2019s richly illustrated book on Holl\u2019s work<\/a>, this ability to visualize two of architecture\u2019s defining elements \u2014 light and shade \u2014 has made his watercolors almost as renowned as the buildings they helped shape. Here, we look more closely at seven pages from the architect\u2019s sketchbook, together with the landmark structures that emerged from them. Follow Holl\u2019s path from brushstrokes to buildings:<\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n

1. Hangzhou Triaxial Field<\/a>, Hangzhou, China (Concept)<\/b><\/p>\n

The paintings Holl produced for this cultural center in China encapsulate the architect\u2019s desire to create a building with an intimate connection with the surrounding landscape. The interior watercolor evokes a porous cave with light streaming down from above, while the external painting implies a building that extends seamlessly from the ground, as if part of the terrain itself. Holl\u2019s sketchy notes refer to the building as a \u201cfield\u201d where \u201clandscape and arch[itecture] merge.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n

2. Maggie\u2019s Centre Barts<\/a>, London, United Kingdom (Under Construction)<\/b><\/p>\n

When Holl was selected to design a new Maggie\u2019s Centre for cancer care in the heart of London, he set about conceiving a welcoming place of warmth and calmness in the midst of this frenetic city. His watercolors for the center emit an aura of playfulness, joy, and optimism, emphasizing the use of a colored glass envelope to provide an optimistic atmosphere within the light-filled central atrium. The building is set for completion in 2016.<\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n

3. Daeyang Gallery and House<\/a>, Seoul, South Korea (Completed 2012)<\/b><\/p>\n

Watercolors for this experimental design in South Korea were not the only artistic muse for the finished structure: the basic geometry of the building was inspired by a sketched music score by the composer Istvan Anhalt entitled \u201cSymphony of Modules,\u201d discovered in John Cage\u2019s book Notations<\/i>. Both plan and perspective paintings juxtapose the complementary colors of blue and orange, emphasizing the contrast between the rich terra cotta fa\u00e7ades and the cool water that fills the central courtyard.<\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n

4. Campbell Sports Center<\/a>, Manhattan, New York City (Completed 2013)<\/b><\/p>\n

The Campbell Sports Center in New York City was conceived as a three-dimensional manifestation of sports field markings, delineating space and evoking the push and pull of activities throughout the building. Holl\u2019s watercolor is reminiscent of Rem Koolhaas\u2019s famous section diagrams in its prominent use of text to define the juxtaposition of program. Areas dedicated to the body and the mind are stacked one atop the other, diagonal circulation spaces creating tension between the two.<\/p>\n
