Uniquely, Hall is also introduced as a watercolorist, as he starts with an idea of his watercolor paintings. Like the example of St. Ignatius' Chapel, Hall explores the relationship between space and light through transparent and smooth watercolor flows.3x3 Steven Holl Background (1) Architect (2) Genealogy II.

The new building features five lens-shaped masses spread out and arranged according to the shape of the site. This is a distinct contrast to the existing structure, which consists of a single huge mass. It can be seen that each mass was intended to complement each other by placing five lenses in parallel instead of simply adding a mass, such as Tadao Ando or Pozampak's architecture. Through this contrast, we could see Hall's intention to achieve harmony. However, the water spaces that existed in the initial plan disappeared. The exact reason was unknown, but due to budget constraints, it was possible that water space was considN, OMA Area : 38300 m² Year : 2004_Seattle Central Library Rem Koolhaas 3x3 Steven Holl Background (1) Architect (2) Genealogy II.

This background is reflected in his work through a surreal yet highly stimulating richness in language and imagination. At the relatively late age of 25, he began studying architecture at the Architectural Association School of Architecture (AA School) in London, setting him on the path to becoming an architect.3x3 Background (1) Architect (2) Genealogy II.

After determining the size of each platform to accommodate its functions, OMA sought the optimal placement of the platforms within the limited site, taking into account the urban context. For example, they aimed to ensure that Mount Rainier would be visible from the headquarter area and created shaded spaces for book storage.3x3 Background (1) Architect (2) Genealogy II.

What makes the Seattle Public Library particularly remarkable is his effort to acknowledge the complexity and unpredictability of programs while organizing them according to his intent, ensuring that each function remains independent yet capable of interacting with others. Additionally, the proactive use of diagrams during the design process had a significant influence on other Dutch architects, such as MVRDV, in later years.3x3 Background (1) Architect (2) Genealogy II.
