Opis: John Pawson: A Visual Inventory - John Pawson

John Pawson is well known as a minimalist architect, whose body of work includes a new Cistercian monastery in Bohemia and Calvin Klein's first flagship store in New York. One key to his success is his remarkable sensibility: in a life spent almost constantly on the move, he is always looking for patterns, details, textures, spatial arrangements and coincidental moments that can inform his work as an architect and designer. Since acquiring a digital camera, Pawson has amassed over 200,000 snapshots. The anthology of nearly 300 images in this book has been carefully culled from this massive visual diary, and each picture is paired with an illuminating caption. "A Visual Inventory [...] is both a pleasure and an inspiration ... Pawson's snapshots of buildings and places that have inspired him, whether through the play of light on brickwork or details of floorboards in a Swedish church hall, cut to the essence of architectural beauty" Jonathan Glancey, Guardian.co.uk "beautiful ... surprisingly eclectic ... an illuminating insight" Julia Llewellyn Smith, Sunday Telegraph, Seven magazine "From surface textures to architectural details and natural landscapes, his shots are wonderfully immediate, and each includes an illuminating caption written by Pawson himself" Amy Bradford, Elle Decoration "Few of us share Pawson's sublime austerity. It's revelatory that he is inspired by such a wide variety of perceptions." Interior Design "...an inspiring new book..." The Huffington Post "...a surprisingly maximalist wonder cabinet of visual bric-a-brac...This is a global seeing adventure with a master tour guide." Town & Country
