steven holl’s institute for contemporary art

ICA at VCU by Steven Holl

Steven Holl, a New York based architect, designed this art center for Virginia Commonwealth University. The building is comprised of irregularly shaped blocks that are put together. Translucent glass gives the impression that these blocks are glowing. The unique and creative design is perfect for a college arts center. A design such as this only creates a more artistically optimal environment. It reminds me of a newer style of architecture where steel shipping crates are placed together to create a living space or shopping area.
