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.  

Deyan Sudjic studied architecture in Edinburgh, edited Domus in Milan, was the director of the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2002 and as director of the Design Museum in London between 2006 and 2020, he led the museum’s move from a dockland warehouse to its new home in Kensington.  
He was the founding editor of Blueprint Magazine, and director of the Glasgow City of Architecture and Design festival.
