John Pawson : the minimal home

An exploration of the essential nature of domestic space through John Pawson s work and his inspirations

Autorentext

John Pawson CBE has spent over forty years making rigorously simple architecture that speaks of the fundamentals but is also modest in character. His body of work spans a broad range of scales and typologies, from private houses, sacred commissions, galleries, museums, hotels, ballet sets, yacht interiors and a bridge across a lake. Deyan Sudjic is Director Emeritus of London Design Museum and Distinguished Professor of Design and Architectural Studies at Lancaster University. He is a curator and critic, who edited Domus magazine in Milan, and was director of the Venice Architecture Biennale. Sudjic has authored many titles for Phaidon, including John Pawson: Making Life Simpler and his much sought-after book, Shiro Kuramata (2025).
