Project 3 - Project Inspiration: John Pawson

Having referenced work by the architect John Pawson in project two, I was reminded, with this brief, of work he had completed early in his career with the interiors of art galleries/art shops. This project then presented an excellent opportunity to look again at that particular approach to form and organisation; another attempt at some form of austere 'minimalistic' architecture. The references to Pawson's particular style of architecture didn't just stay with the conceptual design, but continued in the line-drawings of the presentation.
