From a house in San Francisco's SoMa district to a Buddhist temple in Kyoto, a mountain shelter in Switzerland to St. Louis's Pulitzer foundation museum, New Minimalist Architecture canvasses twenty-one of the world's most efficient minimalist designs. Each design surveyed here is an excellent example of how a "less is more" architectural strategy, which economizes on space, light, and mass, can lend itself to aesthetic yet functional structures.

From a house in San Francisco's SoMa district to a Buddhist temple in Kyoto, a mountain shelter in Switzerland to St. Louis's Pulitzer foundation museum, New Minimalist Architecture canvasses twenty-one of the world's most efficient minimalist designs. Each design surveyed here is an excellent example of how a "less is more" architectural strategy, which economizes on space, light, and mass, can lend itself to aesthetic yet functional structures. Restraint and austerity emphasize geometric form, focusing on the elemental structure rather than superfluous features. Minimalism's unique use of shapes, lines, and materials gives way to strong, simplistic designs, such as those featured in this book. Through stunning photographs and elaborate descriptions New Minimalist Architecture offers a look at the innovative role minimalism can play throughout the architectural world.
