John Pawson

John Pawson: The Minimal Home by
Deyan Sudjic is the latest volume in
Phaidon's ongoing documentation of
the architect’s life and work. Focusing on
the details that mark Pawson’s distinctive
architectural and aesthetic style, the book
explores the essential nature of domestic
space and the many ways in which
architecture and design shape our
everyday lives.

Organised into six chapters to reflect a
modern home’s patterns of use — living,
cooking, eating, bathing, sleeping and
working — the book is illustrated with
images of Pawson’s own work and
inspirations, set alongside broader
historical precedents, from bathing in
hot springs in Japan, to spending time
at Donald Judd’s home at Marfa in Texas
and the Cistercian Abbey of Le Thoronet
in Provence and visiting Mies van der
Rohe’s Farnsworth House.
