The Gold Medal is the highest honor AIA confers on an architect. The work of 2012 medalist Steven Holl, FAIA, proves that great architecture can, and must, answer questions about how to live in a more sustainable, healthy, happy, and equitable world. It invalidates the imagined binary distinction between social responsibility and design excellence, and validates the career of a man who's understood this longer than most.
