Less is more: minimalism stands for simple, clear and often geometric forms. This book offers a well-grounded overview of this architectural style, one of contemporary architecture¿s major trends. After an introduction to the development and consequences of minimalism in the arts, the book presents a number of international projects. Clearly written, informative articles and a wide range of high-quality colour photographs provide a broad overview of the possibilities of minimalist design in the areas of fashion, architecture, furnishing and interior design.
