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. Seit 1999 hat Fretton Gastprofessuren an verschiedenen Universitäten: Technical University Delft, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale Lausanne, Berlage Institute Amsterdam, Harvard University Graduate School of Design, Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH) Zürich.
