After doing some research on Minimal Architecture I have found a lot of useful information which is helping develop concepts for the publication design. Firstly I read a book called Minimal Architecture by Ilka & Andreas Ruby, Angeli Sachs and Philip Ursprung, which outlined where this movement came from and how it developed, throughout the book it contains three different approaches to Minimal Architecture, these being; Essential minimalism, Meta-Minimalism and Trans-Minimalism. I have chosen to focus on Essential Minimalism, 'Essential minimalism is frequently distinguished by qualities of introspective and introversion; it transforms the building into an object with perfected external form and surfaces' a definition given in the book I found sparked a lot of inspiration and ideas for my project.
My chosen Architects for this brief will be; Tadao Ando, Peter Zumthor, Herzog & Demeuron, Morg & Degelo and Claus en Kaan. All of which are Minimalist architects with a similar approach to design. A quote which the design will be based around is 'Light, materials and atmosphere', I will carefully select stock and typeface to create an aesthetic which complies with the approach of these designers.
