4.0 out of 5 stars
so this is minimalist architecture....,
By mr insensitive (West Dakota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Minimalist Houses (Hardcover)
The book itself is well done. The pictures are plenty and of high quality. The somewhat limited amount of text deals mainly with concept and layout and not so much with construction techniques and materials. Twenty-three houses from around the world are featured.This is a good coffee table book. However, if this is what minimalist architecture is then it might not be for the typical future home builder looking for unique but livable concepts (ala the not so big house). The homes all seem to have the look and feel of art museums and waiting rooms.

minimally impressed,

This review is from: Minimalist Houses (Hardcover)
I ordered this book hoping to get a compilation of good minimalist architecture. What I received was a selection of a few very good projects amidst a lot of mediocre architecture. Minimalism is a catch all word...just because a house has white walls and a lot of glass does not make it 'minimal'. I expected much more analysis and critique than what is written.
In terms of the book itself: There are some very good images and photography with help to offset the bad choice of font and standard layout. I would recommend this book as a good coffee table book, but nothing more than that.
