London Minimum (World Design) (English And Spanish Edition)
This series examines the meeting of lifestyle and interior design. Each volume will concentrate either on "ethnic" or "urban" traditions, encompassing places in the world that provide inspiration to today's designers. The series looks at not only the particular design itself, but the context in which it exists, the inspirations from which it originated, and the ways in which it can be applied. Examples are given from both public and private buildings. This volume looks at the London minimum design theme.

As someone who loves both London and minimalist architecture, I have to say this book doesn't *quite* redeem its promise. I think the fault may lie in the series' concept rather than the book per se. While it does sound many of the right notes - Pawsonian asperity first and foremost - by restricting the ambit to London, the authors miss out on many of the most interesting trendlets in this most adaptable style. It's both pretty and well-presented, but as a comprehensive statement doesn't entirely succeed. For a more comprehensive take on *architecture* as opposed to decor, I'd look at *The Architecture of Minimalism*; for those looking for a more purely idea-driven sourcebook, I'd check out *Minimum*.
For anyone wanting to discover what is minimalism and wher it came from, this a must. No one has managed to outline and seize precisely the essence of it as well as H. YPMA. Outstanding photos, and a fantastic insigt into London
