A comprehensive overview on the work of renowned London architect Tony Fretton (born 1945). After graduating from the reputable Architectural Association in 1982 Fretton opened his own architect's office. He attracted attention early on with the Lisson Gallery and the "Red House" (London). His spatial creations and their incorporation into the urban context are of subtle mastery. With his designs for the Camden Arts Centre, the Fuglsang Kunstmuseum in Denmark, London townhouse for the artist Anish Kapoor and the British embassy in Warsaw, Fretton has emerged as one of the most prominent contemporary architects. This monograph provides a long-awaited reference work to his oeuvre. Since 1999 Tony Fretton has been a visiting professor at the following universities: Technical University Delft, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale Lausanne, Berlage Institute Amsterdam, Harvard University Graduate School of Design, Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH) Zurich.

Ein umfassender Überblick zu dem Werk des renommierten Londoner Architekten Tony Fretton (1945 geboren). Nach seinem Abschluss 1982 an der angesehenen Architectural Association hat Fretton sein eigenes Büro eröffnet. Erste Beachtung fand er mit der Lisson Gallery und dem Red House in London. Seine räumliche Gestaltung und die Einbindung in den städtischen Kontext sind von subtiler Meisterschaft. Mit seinem Entwurf für das Camden Arts Centre, dem Fugelsang Museum Dänemark, dem Londoner Stadthaus für den Künstler Ansih Kapoor und der britischen Botschaft in Warschau zählt Fretton zu den bekanntesten zeitgenössischen Architekten. Die vorliegende Monographie ist die erste umfassende Publikation zu seinem Oeuvre.
