Produktbeschreibung
Minimalist architecture is characterized by an economy with materials and a focus on building quality with considerations for ¿essences¿ as light, form, detail of material, texture, space and scale, place and human conditions. The shortage of building materials often forces families to build back lower quality homes, therefore Palestinian architects working in the field should seek the essence and simplicity by rediscovering the valuable qualities of simple and humble materials, capturing their raw beauty and accepting their harshness. This book investigates how to validate the existing simple objects around us and minimal spaces we live in. And how to use minimalist architecture principles as a guideline for designing, constructing and rehabilitating economic buildings tailored to the community's needs and preferences. A major concern is how a minimal language could help in the existing situation here in the Gaza Strip.
