Nice, but no need to buy.,

This review is from: Minimalist Spaces: Commercial and Residential (Paperback)
Firstly, I love minimalism. The two quotes at the beginning of this book sum up what is wonderful about minimalism rather nicely, and I encourage you to read them (at the book store). Secondly, some of the exibits in this book are really fantastic, especially the Japanese projects. I found a lot of inspiration looking at these designs, and the photography is mostly great.BUT, you really don't need to buy this particular book. I suggest Minimalist Houses over this particular collection because it has a lot more variety, and greater international representation (eg. you'll see more from Germany, Sweedan, the U.S. and Japan) for about the same price. Minimalist Spaces is a nice book, but read it the store as an appetizer for Minimalist Houses, if minimalism appeals to you. Some people are uncomfortable with minimalism, and there are plenty of books and designs for you too :).

Good Selection,
By Charles Smith "Charles" (Los Angels, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Minimalist Spaces: Commercial and Residential (Paperback)
The materials in Minimalist Spaces are thoughtfully selected from broad range around the world. With its good quality graphics, it's a book worthy to read. If more specific details and graphic illustrations could be included, it would be much more helpful. Anyway, this is a good book of its kind.
