Produktinformationen zu „John Pawson “
A thematic overview of the work the minimalist architect and designer.
Klappentext zu „John Pawson “
John Pawson (b.1949) is the foremost proponent of a minimal aesthetic in architecture and design. Already known to designers for his ascetic yet luxurious interiors, he has attained public acclaim for his high-profile retail projects such as the Calvin Klein flagship store in New York, his celebrity clients like Martha Stewart and his book Minimum.
This book looks at the spatial themes that dominate Pawson's work, through a close examination of a range of different projects. It explores how light, mass and structure inform the architecture and the role of ritual and order, as well as the integration of internal and external spaces.
Six new projects are featured: products for 'When Objects Work', Calvin Klein Paris, Vacheron Constantin in Geneva, the Marketmuseum in the UK, a private house in Germany and the Novy Dvur monastery in the Czech Republic. Essays by Deyan Sudjic, Sam Hecht, Michael Craig-Martin, Phoebe Greenwood, Robert Winder, Kate Bucknell, Bruce Chatwin and Father Samuel describe the effects of these spaces.
Like John Pawson Works, this compilation is a record of Pawson's developing approach to design and his unique position at the meeting point of art and design, through which his ethos offers incisive insights into culture, society and architecture.

Rezension zu „John Pawson “
"'It is the book's central essay by Deyan Sudjic that gets closest to what makes Pawson so compelling as a designer. Sudjic allies Pawson with a diverse group of self-taught designers, including Jean Prouve, Pierre Chareau, Tadao Ando and Craig Ellwood, all of whom had or have idiosyncratic styles and real personality. Pawson is best seen in this light - as someone pursuing an individual path whose rigour and commitment is unmistakable... a beautiful volume.' Modern Painters 'Characteristic of John Pawson's unique viewpoint on the junction of art and design, it also offers much wider insights into culture, society and architecture.' The Property Executive 'John Pawson's immaculate spaces are said to inspire religious awe, and this generously illustrated monograph adroitly recreates that impression... The book is a luscious introduction to a luxuriously empty world.' Azure"
