Finger Lakes Formalism, indeed. archlog: the weblog of architecture reports that Steven Holl has won the competition to design the new Cornell University School of Architecture, beating out Tod Williams/Billie Tsien and Peter Zumthor. Although we haven’t seen the competition entries, having seen Holl’s rather meagre Science Center at Cranbrook, which stands in contrast to the far superior Williams/Tsien poolhouse there and firmly believing that Zumthor’s Swiss neo-Brutalism would have been perfect for the gorge-side site, well, we can only hope for the best.
