Minimalist Style in Architecture
Minimalist Architecture was rampant today is not a new architectural form. Since the early 1920s until the shine back in the 1990s, has come with a trigger factor, the interpretation and application of “simplicity” is typical of an architect with other architects.
In fact, Le Corbusier and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe are two of the many architects who give the color effect of simplicity (simplicity) is significant in the dynamics of minimalist architecture had always been until now.
Minimalist in architecture emphasize the things that are essential and functional. Geometric shapes elementary without ornament or decoration to his character. Referring to the opinion that Carlos Rego, minimalist architecture can be said to have begun to grow in the early 20th century known as the modern century, a century rang the advances as a result of the Industrial Revolution.
Innovation of various building materials such as steel, concrete, and glass, standardization and efficiency of a new challenge in the design world. Various ideas put forward by architects in Europe and the U.S. mainland. At that moment they were trying to find a new format that reflects the architectural spirit of time with trying to leave the influence of classical architecture.
1990s by Kliczkowski regarded as a turning point back minimalist architecture, like that expressed in his book, Maximalism Maximalismo (Loft Publications, Spain, 2003).
The presence of back current minimalist architecture and its existence in the past can not be separated from the influence of Le Corbusier and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
Expression of Mies van der Rohe “Less is more” (1923) which is regarded as a marker known architecture minimalist existence until today.
Farnsworth House, guest house owned by Edith Farnsworth, Fox River, Illinois (1949-1951), and the Seagram Building is an example of the application of Van der Rohe expression. The luxury of simplicity order to grow in open plan space and grace of the structure and composition of architectural detail. Completion of structural and architectural steel columns, steel beams, flat plates, and massive walls, transparent to the building itself that the “decorations”.
In addition to the composition of geometric shapes that characterize his work, Corbusier display unique element, namely the use of the ramp instead of stairs or a bridge. Something that has not been prevalent at the time, but this time the architectural elements that provide a separate color for minimalist architecture.
