Jon Lott—Proximities is an exploration into the practice of Para Project, and the philosophies of its founder Jon Lott. Lott’s work, characterized by its openness to reconfiguration and its dialogue with context, is presented through five key projects: Haffenden House, Pioneertown House, Stump House, Brugge Diptych, and Couple Lean-tos.
The book probes the significance of proximity and approximation in Lott’s work and emphasizes how these elements facilitate a deeper engagement with the surroundings. Structured around thematic prompts such as „Readings/Reflections,“ „Proximities/Aapproximations,“ and „Diptychs/Doubles,“ it offers a multifaceted examination of Lott’s design approach and also highlights the playful and improvisational aspects of Lott’s methodology.
Featuring theoretical discourse and practical insights, Proximities is both an architectural monograph and a philosophical inquiry into the nature of creating and experiencing space.

Plan for the Brugge Diptych
—a temporary pavilion for the 2021 Brugge Triennale, TraumA, Brugge, Belgium. The Diptych will serve as the main event space for the Triennale’s programming regarding issues of urban trauma and is one of several international commissions open within the city through late fall.
