A conversation with John Pawson and Deyan Sudjic

April 18 ^th 2024 11:00 - 13:00

Two experts, each with respected points of view, discuss the role of architecture and the significance of modern design: architect John Pawson, Commander of the British Empire for his design and architectural excellence, and author, curator and critic Deyan Sudjic, director emeritus of the Design Museum in London and Officer of the Order of the British Empire.

John Pawson

John Pawson CBE has spent over thirty years making rigorously simple architecture that speaks of the fundamentals but is also modest in character. His body of work spans a broad range of scales and typologies, from private houses, sacred commissions, galleries, museums, hotels, ballet sets, yacht interiors and a bridge across a lake.
