"The father of modern architectural minimalism"
-The New York Times
The Design Museum presents an interestingexhibition of the works of John Pawson.
John Pawson in conversation with Alain de Botton from Design Museum on Vimeo.
John Pawson, is often described as a 'minimalist' as he is known for his deep reduction process, which leads to remarkable designs of simplicity. Some of John Pawson's major projects include : the Cistercian Monastery in Czech Republic, the Sackler Crossing (Royal Botanic Gardens) and the Calvin Klein store in New York Madison
The quality and detail in the models that were on show was very refreshing and inspiring. (see slide show)
John Pawson's project - 'Casa delle Bottere' was also included in the exhibition. This particular work caught my eye as it had an ecological dimension incorporated in the project, which at the time came in very handy for me as i was researching the topic surrounding sustainable materials for my dissertation.
