In a time of loud gestures and ostentation unpretentious buildings, which have been reduced to the essentials with no superfluous decoration, are soothing in their purity. This new volume in the series In Detail demonstrates the breadth and complexity of the issues involved in building simply, from functional and economic demands, through ecological and energy-related aspects, to design and construction requirements. Building Simply can be read and applied in many ways. In the face of the sheer wealth of possibilities available today and the ever quicker changes in design and style, it is a creative process which does justice to the nature and quality of the materials used and gives rise to unique projects through an economy of means and resources. The project section documents a comprehensive range of international examples, from simple wooden bridges, to pavilions, residential buildings, workshops, and warehouses. In einer Zeit der lauten Gesten treten gerade jene Gebäude wohltuend hervor, die sich durch Reduktion auf das Wesentliche auszeichnen, ohne überflüssige Schnörkel und mit Lust auf Bescheidenheit. Der neue Band der Reihe Im Detail zeigt die Bandbreite und Komplexität der Aufgabenstellung, die von den funktionalen Anforderungen über ökonomische, ökologische, energetische und konstruktive Aspekte bis hin zu ästhetischen Anforderungen reicht. Die einführenden Fachbeiträge thematisieren eben diese Vielfalt, die den Planer immer wieder herausfordert. Dass «Einfach Bauen» als schöpferischer Prozess zu einzigartigen Projekten führen kann, wird ebenso deutlich wie die spezifischen Anforderungen, die das Planen und Bauen mit unterschiedlichsten Materialien erfordert. Der anschließende Beispielteil dokumentiert anhand internationaler Projekte die Vielfalt des Einfachen: Von der schlichten Holzbrücke, über Pavillonbauten zu Wohnhäusern, Werkstätten und Lagerhallen zeigen die Bauten das ganze Spektrum des Einfachen. Der Begriff «Einfach Bauen» ist vielfach les- und anwendbar; dieser Band fordert dazu heraus, angesichts des heutigen Überflusses an Möglichkeiten und dem beschleunigten Wechsel von Formgebung und Gestaltung das Bauen als schöpferischen Prozess zu begreifen und gerade in der Beschränkung der Mittel den Reichtum an Qualität, den Ausdruck zu finden, der «Einfaches» Gestalt annehmen lässt.

Each design surveyed here is an excellent example of how a less is more architectural strategy, which economizes on space, light and mass, can lend itself to aesthetic yet functional structures. Restraint and austerity emphasize geometric form, focusing on the elemental structure rather than superfluous features. From a house in San Francisco's Soma district to a Buddhist temple in Kyoto, a mountain shelter in Switzerland to St. Louis's Pulitzer foundation museum, this book canvasses twenty-one of the world's most efficient minimalist designs. Minimalism's unique use of shapes, lines and materials gives way to strong, simplistic designs, such as those featured in this book.

"Kyle Chayka is one of our sharpest cultural observers. After spending years covering minimalist trends for leading publications, he now delves beneath this lifestyle's glossy surface, seeking better ways to claim the time and space we crave. He shows that our longing for less goes back further than we realize. His search leads him to the philosophical and spiritual origins of minimalism, and to the stories of artists such as Agnes Martin and Donald Judd; composers such as John Cage and Julius Eastman; architects and designers; visionaries and misfits. As Chayka looks anew at their extraordinary lives and explores the places where they worked--from Manhattan lofts to the Texas high desert and the back alleys of Kyoto--he reminds us that what we most require is presence, not absence. The result is an elegant new synthesis of our minimalist desires and our profound emotional needs"--
