Finding starchitect (Steven Holl) details?

l3wis

Hi guys.

Has anyone found any particular resources online that document a smattering of various starchitect details, specifically Steven Holl's?

I'm working on a project in studio, and am in dire need of finding some details from his Chapel of St. Ignatius, Cranbrook Science Facility, and Sarphatistraat Offices). I've exhausted my school library, and my search online has proved to be quite fruitless. Of course I can find plenty of information, photographs, and basic drawings (plans, elevations, sections) of these buildings, but hardly any detail drawings at all.

Anyways, just thought I'd ask. Have a terrific Thursday!

I remember seeing somewhere construction photos of the precast panels going in at St Ignatius.

Have you been here: http://www.seattleu.edu/missionministry/chapel/default.aspx?id=3166

BTW, St Ignatius is an amazing piece of architecture. It's nice to see a building that's more impressive in person than the photos you see of it.

did you search for torrents? often you can find scanned versions of magazines this way.

Wow... El Croquis is awesome. Definitely something I'll be going back to again and again throughout my education. Thanks for the links, ProjectNorth.

Randomized... I'm shocked! There's quite a wealth of architectural books and periodicals available for download upon further inspection. Will definitely investigate this further.
