Abstract

The impetus for this design project involves the design methodology of minimalism. Minimalism is a term that is stated ubiquitously within the contemporary architectural context. This thesis asserts that minimalism assembles a subjective feeling through a visual impact, which can be objectively designed. Minimalism is made through a rigorous study of material detailing and control of the construction process. Minimalism is rational. It is refined, elegant, and while it is seemingly simple and/or austere, it can be understood on multiple levels.
