Extreme Minimalism: Architecture Experimenta... - Chris van Uffelen
During many eras of architectural history, builders and architects aimed to construct buildings with pure shapes and clear geometry, while foregoing decorative elements. However, the approach of architects cannot be limited to Mies van der Rohs dogma of Less is more, but corresponds rather to Less is all you need. With the advent of Classical Modernity, minimalism has become a seminal architectural style.
Representing various types of structures, the chosen examples are mostly based on the concept of a simple comprehensive overall shape, focus on a few main materials as means of expression, and are comparatively simple to implement. Based on a select range of contemporary buildings, this book examines the question of how compelling esthetic impressions and expressions can be achieved with reduced shapes. Despite, or perhaps due to, the consistently applied limitations, the results are extremely remarkable.
