Less is more - the principle of minimalism is becoming increasingly important in architecture. In this panel discussion, planners and manufacturers of the “Residential Building of the Year” and “House of the Year” awards shed light on how reduced forms, clear lines and the deliberate use of materials create a timeless, functional aesthetic. What advantages does minimalist architecture offer in terms of efficiency, sustainability and space optimization? The discussion looks at the challenges and opportunities of this movement and shows how minimalism not only offers visual tranquillity, but also smart solutions for modern living spaces.
