Summary:

"This book explores the underlying themes of John Pawson's work. Topics including mass, ritual and containment, which are the essence of Pawson's approach to design, are each explored through documentation of his key projects, from the galleries with which he first established his name in the 1980s to the most recent projects, including his furniture and industrial design. A selection of current projects, including a Cistercian monastery in the Czech Republic and the Clavin Klein store in Paris, are explored in greater detail. His work is set in context by a selection of essays from a variety of commentators, such as Bruce Chatwin and Deyan Sudjic, and a conversation with Michael Craig-Martin." - book jacket.
