quote [ Minimalism is the stripping away of the untidy organic haphazardness that makes spaces their most human. It makes spaces that are impossible to really live in, places where the first thing you put on a table makes it look like a mess, where people are actually out of place. ]
Nothing to add to that quote.

Minimalism can still have warmth, but I think brutalism, by definition must be cold, and concrete should be a major component. But words morph according to need, and I think “brutalism” is still morphing, and has been since being coined. Maybe it could be said that brutalism is minimalism that a minimalist doesn’t care for.
Some people will move into an old house and cut down the hundred year-old oaks and shrubs, and lay gravel where grass lawns once were. It’s hard to argue that is not more efficient in the long term, and it’s certainly their right, but it’s also hard to argue there isn’t some loss to the community.
