Minimal architecture as practised today reflects the desire for a reductivist way of life, a search for calm and tranquil environments, and a desire to rid life of unnecessary clutter. Designers who follow this design format have their theories rooted in those of the modern movement and the discussions about the validity of this source go on and on in architectural circles. This follow-up to the issue of "Architectural Design, Aspects of Minimal Architecture", features leading architectural designers John Pawson, Claudio Silvestrin, Deborah Berke, Richard Gluckman, David Chipperfield, Eduardo Souta de Moura, Peter Zumthor, and Herzog and de Meuron. This issue of "Architectural Design" not only presents the designs which can evolve, but also describes the challenges faced by designers in developing this type of work.
