Steven Holl has been awarded the first BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in the arts category. The awards, organized in partnership with Spain’s National Research Council, seek to recognize and encourage world-class research at an international level. This is the first year the foundation has given an award in the arts category, which encompasses the fields of architecture, contemporary classical music, painting, and sculpture. Notable projects by Holl include the Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, and Linked Hybrid in Beijing. According to the jury, he was singled out because of the “the progressive position of [his work] in more than thirty years of professional practice, in its rigorous discipline and consistency,” along with the “the formal, spatial, and functional processes of his personal artistic vision.” test link.
