This trenchant re-examination of minimalism in architecture helps deepen our understanding of a style as diverse as the artists who practice it.What is minimalism? Or, more specifically, what isn?t? In this fascinating aesthetic voyage three experts in the field of architecture and art history trace the development of minimalism as a style and offer perspectives on the directions the movement is taking as it morphs toward the future. In double-page spreads filled with color photographs of the most innovative minimalist projects, this book illustrates three principal movements: the traditional, as practiced by Herzog & de Meuron in early works, Peter Zumthor and Tadao Ando; the ambiguous, in which architects not commonly associated with minimalism, such as OMA or Zaha Hadid, use it for specific projects; and the subversive, which appropriates minimalist concepts across a variety of new fields and exemplified in the architecture of Shigeru Ban or Lacaton & Vassal. Coupled with an historical analysis of the relationship between minimalism in architecture to its appearance in art, the book examines minimalism as a paradigm for modern architecture. Andreas Ruby is an architectural critic and consultant who has written for numerous international publications and served as editor of Daidalos, the architectural periodical. Angeli Sachs is an architecture and design editor and has curated exhibitions on 20th century art and architecture. Philip Ursprung is a professor of Contemporary Art History in Zurich and is currently guest curator at the Canadian Center for Architecture in Montreal, Canada.
