A preview of the interview we did with Steven Holl. In this part he describes the recently opened Museum of Ocean and Surf in Biarritz, France.
The design by Steven Holl Architects in collaboration with Solange Fabiao is the winning scheme from an international competition that included the offices of Enric Miralles/Benedetta Tagliabue, Brochet Lajus Pueyo, Bernard Tschumi and Jean-Michel Willmotte.
Stay tuned for the full interview!

Actually, the winning project for the international competition was EMBT’s … but Biarritz mayor after giving the 1st prize to Tagliabue has chosen Holl’s project …
jesus, I don’t have to worry about my uni project so much… we’re doing something similar but my concept is stronger than Holls cup!
Steven Holls museum of ocean and surf exemplifies concretes plastic qualities which
allows this stone-like building material’s
ability to show “frozen motion”.
