斯蒂文·霍尔生于美国西北部华盛顿州的一个小镇。他就读于西雅图华盛顿大学中的一所学院,而据他所说,自己早年做学生的这段时期缺乏灵感。幸运地是,他得到了一位老师的激励与启发,因为这位老师不仅仅是向霍尔和同学们传授理念和激情,还鼓励他们“展开翅膀”去体验世界。这位教授就是HermanPundt,一个对建筑有着明确主张且充满热情的人。据霍尔自己所说,正是在那里他建立了自己的信条:需要培育一种“活的”建筑体验。在Pundt的帮助下,霍尔在他早年求学的几年里,得到了赴罗马的奖学金。他说,在这里他完全改变了自己对建筑的态度。“我获得出国学习的机会,并且突然从令人困倦的、木瓦地域主义的西雅图空降到罗马。” Steven Holl was born in a small town in Washington state in the northwestern United States. He attended a college at Washington University in Seattle, and according to him, he was short of inspiration during his early years as a student. Fortunately, he received inspiration and inspiration from a teacher who not only taught Hall and his class the philosophy and passion but also encouraged them to “spread their wings” to experience the world. The professor is Herman Pundt, a man who has a clear claim to architecture and passion. According to Hall himself, it was there that he built his own creed: there was a need to nurture a “living” architectural experience. With Pundt’s help, Hall received a scholarship to Rome in the early years of his education. He said here he completely changed his attitude toward architecture. “I was given a chance to study abroad and suddenly sailed from the drowsy, shingled Seattle to Rome.”
