The relationship between music and architecture has been explored before, but perhaps never so favorably and subtly as in Steven Holl’s interpretation of Istvan Anhalt’s Symphony of Modules. The prize-winning Daeyang Gallery and House consists of three pavilions – intercon-nected solely by a shallow reflective pool and the lower floor’s gallery. And just like a symphony, the building also has its ca-refully chosen score, in this case naturally enough, flowing light, glittering water, ocher-colored copper in harmony with stone floors and plastered walls.
