One of America’s most celebrated architects, Holl knows something about
charting his own path. He once won a fierce competition for an $86 million
addition to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City by jettisoning the
rules, which called for designs on the north face of an existing building. Holl
rejected their master plan and presented an entirely different vision.

Don was
a very early advocate of active living and a pioneer in promoting walking and
biking as integral modes of urban travel. His 1989 MUP thesis entitled “The
Greenlake Bike Path: An Evaluation of Use and Methods” was the first detailed study
of the use of Seattle's Greenlake Trail and Don spent inordinate amounts of
time counting and observing trail users to substantiate his thesis. As a
result, his work was integrated into Seattle Parks and Recreation policies for
maintaining and improving this popular facility.
