John Pawson

London, United Kingdom

John Pawson CBE has spent over thirty 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.
His method is to approach buildings and design commissions in precisely the same manner, on the basis that ‘it’s all architecture’. Whether at the scale of a monastery, a house, a saucepan, or a ballet, everything is traceable back to a consistent set of preoccupations with mass, volume, surface, proportion, junction, geometry, repetition, light, and ritual.
