Holl vs. Holl

My long-time role-model Steven Holl came to critique me on my final review...that's one of the buildings he liked.

His advice, "A building should be more interesting on the inside than on the outside."

Other notes: a bunch of "A" projects and a bunch of "F" projects make a "C" student...I saw on of my projects being modeled in his office weeks later at his Christmas party (or that's just conspiracy theory). Time magazine named him Best American Architect in 2001. 

The Monday before the final review my good friend George from Canadia had a spare ticket to see the Sam Roberts Band (also from Canadia) at the Bowery Ballroom.

It was a great concert; it was especially fun watching George get as excited as a 16-year-old girl at an Elvis concert.

Following the show we met up with long-time U of M friends at the "posh" Hudson Hotel designed by Philippe Starck.
