Video: John Pawson

Crane.tv visits renowned British Architect and AA graduate John Pawson at his studio in North London. Known for his minimalist and sleek approach, Pawson has designed everything from stores for Calvin Klein to monasteries in the Czech Republic. Earlier this year, Pawson was commissioned to redesign the old Commonwealth Institute building in South-Kensington, which will serve as the new home of the Design Museum in 2014. Here, he talks to us about the ideas behind his minimalist style, the international nature of his office and what he learned from legendary Japanese architect Shiro Kuramata.
