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