Wassily Kandinsky Untitled, 1941

Minimalism began as an art movement after World War II and rose to prominence as a design aesthetic in the 1960s and 1970s. Some cite Ludwig Mies van der Rohe as being the first leader of minimalist design, and his basic, yet striking structures are constructed simply to maximize space and a feeling of openness.

" Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light. "  - Le Corbusier

Ando builds concepts around the sky, the sun, water, intergating them into a building   Traditional Architecture is limited in its nature. Ando's architecture is free in terms of space as his building incorporate nature. his buildings resemble an extrovert who always say "hello" in a store.

The first sense Art the first word then Wonder Then the inner realization of ‘Form’ The sense of the wholeness of inseparable elements. Design consults Nature to give presence to the elements A work of art makes manifest the wholeness of the ‘Form’ a symphony of the selected shapes of the elements. In the elements the joint inspires ornament, its celebration. The detail is the adoration of Nature.   POEM by Carlo Scarpa by Louis Kahn
