Aspects of Minimal Architecture

Viac o knihe

The basic philosophy of minimalist architecture originates from a relatively strong religious phenomena which demads a rigorous way of life to allow peace and tranquility of thought. The beauty of its manifestation can be seen most clearly in space which is without the distraction of unnecessary objects and decorations. Each aspect of this architecture is painstakingly detailed and the way of life of the occupants is studied so it can be incorporated into the design. The result is an exquisite and emotive architecture, finely detailed and serenely finished.
