Aspects of Minimal Architecture II

Minimal architecture as practiced today reflects the desire for a calm and tranquil way of life, and a desire to rid life of unnecessary clutter. Designers who follow this design format have their theories rooted in those of the modern movement and the discussions about the validity of this style go on throughout architectural circles. However, the results of this design style are stunningly beautiful and very popular. This book not only presents beautiful designs which have evolved from this philosophy, but also the thoughts behind these and the comments from the designers themselves about the challenges they face in developing minimal architecture. Featured architects include Claudio Silvestrin, Charles Jencks, Peter Murray, Terry Pawson, and Richard Portchmouth.
