John
Pawson: The Comfort of Exactness
[ send
me this paper ]
(25pp) Is it any wonder that the artist/ architect, who
according to legend, claims that "there are fifty
shades of white," would speak of his own work in
crystalline form? The crystal itself, in all its own
unique purity could well be a metaphor for Paxon's efforts
in this field. Throughout this discussion we will look for
those thing, which influenced the creativity of both his
lifestyle, and his work. Simplicity brings with it a
certain monumentality. It accommodates the fundamental
essence of architecture, compression and release,
enclosure and transparency. Pawson's architecture appears
unforced, and effortless - the one who is unaware will
think - I could have done that, or I could have put those
materials together. But we smile to ourselves for we know
that, he-our questioner of these simple but elegant
materials didn't do the work. For the real appreciation of
Pawson is the understanding that simplicity is not easily
achieved. Bibliography lists 20 sources.
