I’ve posted several items about the controversial Steven Holl-designed addition to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, so I wanted to link to this interview (hat tip to Tony).
In the audio, Holl told KCUR’s Laura Spencer that the museum addition is possibly the greatest work of his notable career.
“It began an uncomprising, fundamental conceptual strategy that was radical vis-a-vis all the other architects who approached the project. And it was supported by the trustees and the director of the museum not to be compromised in the process.

The design is being featured in an exposition in Japan called “Luminosity/Porosity”
