<P>Der Begriff Minimalismus wurde zunächst in der Welt der Kunst gebraucht, um das Wirken von Donald Judd, Sol Le Witt und anderen zu charakterisieren. Bald zeigte sich auch in der Architektur die Fruchtbarkeit dieser kreativen Herangehensweise. Das Werk von bedeutenden zeitgenössischen Architekten ist ganz oder teilweise dieser Haltung verpflichtet. Die vorliegende Darstellung untersucht zunächst die historischen Wurzeln dieser Strömung: Loos, Wittgenstein, Mies und Asplund gehören zu den maßgebenden Vorläufern. Im Hauptteil des Buches finden dann die aktuellen Protagonisten minimalisitischer Architektur eine eingehende Würdigung - u.a. Tadao Ando, Luis Barragán, Alberto Campo Baeza, A.G. Fronzoni, Michael Gabellini, John Pawson, Claudio Silvestrin, Eduardo Souto Moura und Peter Zumthor.</P> <P>Das Buchlayout ist in seiner strengen Klarheit dem Gegenstand angemessen. Eine knappe Auswahl wichtiger Texte der betreffenden Architekten rundet diese thematische Monografie ab, die einen fundierten Überblick zum Minimalismus bietet, einem der Haupttrends gegenwärtiger Architektur.</P>

minimalism as a concept was first used in the world of art to characterize the work of Donald Judd, Sol Le Witt and several others. Soon afterwards, this creative approach began to take hold in architecture, and the works of many contemporary architects are rooted in Minimalism to a greater or lesser degree. This publication goes to the heart of this trend, looking first at Loos, Wittgenstein, Mies van der Rohe, and Asplund, the definitive precursors of Minimalism. Then the works of today´s protagonists, who include Tadao Ando, Luìs Barragàn, Alberto Campo Baeza, A.G. Fronzoni, Michael Gabellini, John Pawson, Claudio Silvestrin, Eduardo Souto Moura, and Peter Zumthor are covered extensively. A selection of texts contributed by the featured architects conclude the volume. With a clear even austere presentation, this book not only reflects its contents but provides a comprehensive overview of Minimalism, one of the dominant trends in contemporary architecture.
