Let's make this birthday one to remember.

77 years old (Born on December 09, 1947)

Happy Birthday, Steven Holl! May your birthday celebration be as innovative and exciting as Simmons Hall—though hopefully with fewer sharp angles! From the Harleston Parker Medal-winning MIT marvel to your breathtaking Bloch Building addition in Kansas City, you've given us more walls worth staring at than anyone we know.

Your creativity continues to amaze us, like the intricately interconnected towers of Linked Hybrid in Beijing—only you could make complexity look effortless and beautiful. Here's wishing another year full of award-winning designs, endless inspiration, and minimal run-ins with picky planning boards. Cheers to you and all your future masterpieces!
