Steven Holl is the architect who recently designed the new extension of the Nelson-Atkins Art Museum in Kansas City. He even considered the parking garage as a space for art as the ceiling is made of refrective glass, so the public can be drenched by sunlight as they are getting out of their cars and entering the museum lobby. He also designed the Chapel at Seattle University. He has some amazing buildings, and I especially like his minimalist, clean, contemporary, yet innovative style. Check out his buildings!
