Minimalism has played a significant role in modern architectural form. It involves stripping designs down to their bare essentials, simplifying the shapes, and eliminating any unnecessary details. This approach focuses on functionality, spatial clarity and the use of materials in a pure form, avoiding decorative or ornamental features. Many modern architects have adopted the minimalist style as it highlights simplicity and reduces superfluous details, which in turn leads to cost-effective construction and maintenance. The minimalist style not only provides a clean, sleek and timeless aesthetic but encourages sustainability by avoiding wastage of natural resources. It has also influenced various fields like product design, industrial design, and graphic design. Overall, minimalism has become fundamental in contemporary architecture, where its principles and aesthetic values are reflected in many of the world's most iconic buildings.
