Architects & Firms

Steven Holl Architects (SHA) founder Steven Holl, along with partners Dimitra Tsachrelia Holl, Olaf Schmidt, and Roberto Bannura, join Architectural Record's DESIGN:ED Podcast to discuss the firm's expansion into Asia and the design process through a small team of 26 designers. Holl also reflects on the past 50 years of SHA.

“The way our minds have grown is almost like a rhizomatic relationship, where an idea can be understood, critiqued, and questioned in productive ways. This demands a team that knows how to work together—and we have been working with Steven for about 20 years each. This way of working is very intimate, and it allows the younger staff to also have major roles in design contribution.”

- Dimitra Tsachrelia Holl

Hosted by Austin, Texas–based architect Aaron Prinz, Architectural Record’s DESIGN:ED podcast has featured the most renowned architects of our time—such as Art Gensler, Kengo Kuma, and Glenn Murcutt, as well as rising professionals in the next generation, such as Pascale Sablan, Michael Murphy, and Jenny Wu, all available in our library.
