« the four-page internet | main | in london? got a second? »
there's a lot of talk about style within these pages. we tackle lots of them, from minimalism to maximalism to plain crap but it takes an amazing leap of faith from the client's perspective to actually give in to any of these styles to complete a project. we hear a lot of 'yeeeaaah, that may be a little too severe for me...' or 'how about we mix these two things here...' we've been luckier than most but still, compromise is too often the rule because most clients lack the balls necessary to trust professionals. most but not all. mr. kanye west (as i now feel i must refer to him) engaged mr. claudio silvestrin and let him do what he does best in his new york apartment. sir, i applaud you. you followed what is to us a bit of holy text by mr. pawson himself who once said:
the whole point is that this is how i live, so this is what my house needs to be like. the architecture is the physical expression of a way of being: the form does not follow a particular fashion, it follows a particular life. the life my sort of architecture follows is not one that feels right for everybody. i am passionate about my work, but I am not out to make converts.
indeed.
