«Questions of Perception» written in 1994 by Steven Holl together with co-author Alberto Pérez-Gómez and Juhani Pallasmaa, it is a book that explores the phenomenology of architecture through eleven "phenomenal zones": intertwined experience; perspective space; color; of lights and shadows; spatiality of the night; time, duration and perception; water: a phenomenal lens; Sound; detail: the haptic realm; proportion, scale and perception; place, circumstance and idea.
Incorporating recent projects by Steven Holl Architects completed after the book's publication, Holl reframes the "phenomenal zones" and connects new built works to these original concepts.

“Architectural Music” is an ongoing investigation, initiated in Steven Holl's studio at Columbia GSAPP, into the intersections between music and architecture, investigating how rhymes and resonances can serve as springboards for new vocabularies and forms for architecture.
Both music and architecture are inherently spatial and space-defining endeavors. Music is rooted in inhabiting space over time, acting, in the words of John Cage, “like a house to inhabit.” “Music Architecture” explores the ideas and approaches of both disciplines to encourage exploration of the vocabulary and language through which music and architecture can be renewed to facilitate new disciplinary visions.
This discussion will be illustrated through student work and projects built by Steven Holl Architects, including Maggie's Center Barts (London, 2017), Lewis Center for the Arts (Princeton, 2017), and Daeyang Gallery and House (Seoul , 2012).
