Provocations: The Work of David Connor

More about the book

David Connor is a British interior and architectural designer, who, in the early 1980's, was one of a few pioneers who changed perceptions of what design could be. A graduate of the Royal College of Art, Connor began his career as an interior designer before branching out into architecture. His clients and collaborators include Vivienne Westwood, Anish Kapoor, Malcolm McLaren, and Adam Ant. This book examines Connor's most significant projects, assessing his idiosyncratic working methods and identifying his influences and professional liaisons with partners, collaborators, and clients. With beautiful illustrations and photographs, this book considers the impact of his interior design education on his architectural projects, as well as the link between his drawing techniques and the particularity of his finished work.
