From Minimalism to Maximalism

Rating:
Summary: Great Introduction to a New Architectural Style
Review: This book introduces the term Maximalism to descibe the current trend of 'more is more' design. An example of a minimalist space is given, juxtaposed against the featured design of a similarly used space (offices vs. offices, restaurants vs. restaurants, etc.). Highlights include the colorful designs of the MTV headquarters, the Queens Museum of Art, and the Christian Lacroix Store in Tokyo. A section on Maximalist furniture closes out the book.
