Comment on a recent Steven Holl building:
The Simmons Hall building took a regular grid and punctured it with organic voids that added dynamism both to the interiors and to the facade. Colour is a key element in the aesthetic too. For me it reminds me of the postmodern Miami slab block building by Architectonic (?) which punctured slots - rectilinear though - in the regular facade fenestration grid and even included a palm tree in the largest void.
