Minimum
A highly sought-after bible of the Minimalist aesthetic, available in paperback for the first time. An extraordinary visual essay that explores the notion of minimum as applied to architecture, art and design.
As Pawson explains in his introduction these ideas find their expression in art and design and have their beginnings in the realms of religious and philosophical convictions. The austerity of a Cistercian monastery or the simplicity of a Zen garden are both emanations of the same urge to reduce, to make clear and to unburden. Through a sequence of carefully orchestrated pictures, this book clarifies the way in which this mode of thinking has inspired the work of artists and architects from Ancient Egypt to contemporary Mexico or Japan.
