A monograph of Tony Fretton's work from 1986-2012 entitled 'Buildings and their Territories', has been published by Birkhäuser and is now available in bookstores.

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. Included are two projects in Belgium: the Westkaai Towers in Antwerp and the Town Hall and Administrative Centre, Deinze.
This monograph provides a long-awaited reference work to his oeuvre.

Tony Fretton is giving a lecture at deSingel on February 11, 2014.
