John Pawson - Anatomy of Minimum - Beau Livre

In Anatomy of Minimum, ten of John Pawson's most regent architectural commissions, together with a series of design projects, are "anatomized" to discover the essential elements that make his work so special. Author Alison Morris examines his unique approach to light and proportion, his precise language of windows, doors and walls, and reveals the atmosphere and sense of place. A diverse range of projects is examined : private houses, including Passer's own home in Gloucestershire ; a Benedictine archabbey in Hungary ; London's Design Museum ; a historic Tel Aviv convent and hospital transformed into the Jaffa Hotel ; and a gallery in a former World War II telecommunications bunker, as well as designs for homeware and a ballet production.
