"Famous for his poetic marshaling of light and shadow, architect Steven Holl imbues his buildings with an energy and lyricism that enhance their monumentality. Although he opened his New York City practice more than three decades ago, his sensibility has never ossified into a predictable set of gestures or materials. Instead, each project is distinguished by a thoughtful synthesis of sculptural form, interior space, landscape, and art. The complex compositions of such projects as the recent Nanjing Sifang Art Museum in China and the Cit\u00E9 de l'Oc\u00E9an et du Surf museum in Biarritz, France, confront visitors with a revelatory vision of progressive design that is all the more startling for its calm, seductive embrace. stevenholl.com\n\nMeet the other architects and designers on the 2012 AD100 list."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
