Even. Chapel of St. Ignatius





'Steven Holl's dramatically simple Chapel of
St. Ignatius at Seattle University is, in every
sense, illuminating. This spare, striking chapel,
the cornerstone of Seattle University, offers
testimony to the power of architecture to awe
and amaze. It was designed by Washington-born
New Yorker Steven Holl, who believes that
architecture need not be tied to singular
meanings, one-dimensional explanations, or
unilateral ideas. His is an architecture of
accident, intricacy, complexity. Holl designs
buildings to be read much like poetry, on many
levels - form, metaphor, symbol, structure'.
-Beth Dunlop, House & Garden, 9/1/2004
