His work focuses on ways of approaching fundamental problems of space, proportion, light and materials – themes he also explored in his book \u003ci\u003eMinimum\u003c/i\u003e, first published by Phaidon in 1996, which examines the notion of simplicity in art, architecture and design across a variety of historical and cultural contexts. His many residential and commercial interiors have included homes for the writer Bruce Chatwin and the opera director Pierre Audi as well as art galleries and stores in London, Dublin New York, Paris, Seoul and Tokyo. Subsequent projects have spanned a wide range of scales and building typologies, from stage sets and exhibitions to boats and airport lounges, and include such diverse projects as the new Cistercian monastery of Our Lady of Novy Dvur in Bohemia and the Sackler Crossing, a bridge over the lake at Kew's Royal Botanic Gardens.","webDescription":"","webKeywords":"","webLongDescription":"\u003cp\u003eJohn 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. In addition to his acclaimed design work, he is the author of Phaidon's successful \u003ci\u003eMinimum\u003c/i\u003e, a book that paired images and captions to illustrate the notion of simplicity in a beautiful and inspirational manner.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Visual Inventory\u003c/i\u003e presents some of the images from Pawson's personal collection of over 200,000 digital snapshots.
