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 these extremely innovative and honest contemporary buildings, which reveal minimalism as an attitude aiming at abstraction, functionalism and purification.
