Quatrième de couverture
- Pure shapes, simple lines, clear geometry - minimalism focuses on the necessities. It places emphasis on a plain and obvious message rather than on superfluous details.
  A steel wave suggests movement and rapidity, plain glass introduces transparency, large openings are sources of space and light - refinement has become the new means of expression. Each single detail becomes significant and a key element of the project.
  Shape, material and consistency exclusively at the service of function - the result can be admired in 57 extremely innovative and honest contemporary buildings, which reveal minimalism as an attitude aiming at abstraction, functionalism and purification.
