How did the Minimalist movement influence architecture and design?

The Minimalist movement had a significant influence on architecture and design by promoting a reduction in the use of decorative elements and a focus on simplicity and functionality. In architecture, Minimalism influenced the design of buildings with clean lines, simple shapes, and a focus on natural materials such as concrete, steel, and glass. In interior design, Minimalism led to the use of muted color palettes, minimal furniture arrangements, and an emphasis on negative space. Overall, the Minimalist movement challenged traditional notions of beauty and aesthetics and promoted a more streamlined and practical approach to design.
