Minimalism

Less is more, according to the principles of minimalism, which stand for simple, often geometric forms and spare arrangements. This chunky book offers a well-grounded overview of minimalism—a major trend of modern design, fashion, and architecture since the 1960s—by focusing on significant minimalist works. Some 2,000 color photos and reproductions illustrate such examples as chairs by Eero Saarinen and Marcel Breuer, interiors by John Pawson and Claudio Silvestrin Architects, and buildings like Dominique Perrault’s National Library of France and the Alonso Ovallo Foundation Retreat by Glenda Kapstein and Osvaldo Muñoz.
