Vamos a comentar diferentes casas minimalistas, de las cuales creemos que son un buen ejemplo de este tipo de arquitectura que siempre esta tan de moda por su sencillez estética y compositiva, su materialidad y su simplicidad que hace una comprensión más directa del espacio y menos estresante debido al orden que se establece en estos espacios tan puros.

La arquitectura minimalista es aquella que se basta de los elementos necesarios y huye de los artificios, resaltando la simpleza de la geometría y su transparencia. Podríamos decir que uno de los orígenes de este tipo de arquitectura pertenece a Mies van der Rohe, con su célebre frase de less is MORE (menos es MÁS), Read full article →

If we understand that architecture is the design of space, understand that the structure is the generator component architecture. This statement may annoy some architects, but it is true that not all architectural works are "born" from a structural order, as is the case "German Pavilion" the Barcelona Mies van der Rohe, we will mention later.

Architecture and structure have always been linked, but when we speak of the relationship between structure and space, We could classify in two variants according to their degree of relationship. On the one hand, we have the creation of spaces from the structural modulation, and at the other end would be the definition of the spaces and then force the structure to suit them, what is known as “Raumplan” (Space Plan: Each requires a space and therefore needs a different size) and Adolf Loos is their top promoter.
