Steven Holl Let's Start From Music

Architecture, like music, surrounds and engulfs us: it's an immersive, engrossing experience. A conversation between Steven Holl and Michele De Lucchi.

Michele De Lucchi When I took over as editor of Domus several months ago, I thought I needed to have one central concept, a reference idea, and to make everything follow on from that. My point was, and it still is today, that unlike animals, all the things we make are objects, because as human beings that’s what we do: we make objects. In making them, we express an artistic desire. But above all we draw on increasingly advanced technology, and on each occasion we try to obtain something different, something that evolves, in order to become more conscious of the planet we inhabit. In your opinion, is it correct that everything is an object — that chairs are objects, vases are objects, tables are objects, but also buildings are objects?
