In a way, the combination of ascetic humility and aristocratic arrogance brought together in the minimalist attitude is but one of the many contradictions that such a basically transparent attitude is imbued with. Another, and no less significant, one would be the paradox that economy of means is not always translated into economy of cost, but rather the opposite. An absolute purity of forms and materials often requires fine raw materials or those provided by the latest technology, plus the input of craftsmen to guarantee a quality finish. In that sense, architectural minimalism Ñallowing for the fact that few architects would feel themselves represented by that label, or by any otherÑ would be a sort of Modern Movement sublimated in the formal, one which undermines the criterion of economy of materials, time and energy defended since the beginning of the century. The ultimate paradox, finally, would be in observing how the basically most neutral, and therefore anonymous and styleless, forms end up becoming the most striking and unmistakable. When all's said and done, there's nothing as recognizable as a galvanized-steel cube by Donald Judd or an immaculately white interior by John Pawson. Be that as it may, the identification of plainness with minimalism, like any generalization, transcends its own contradictions and transcends both the arts and the artists who make it. Time alone will tell whether this is nothing other than the latest eye-catching disguise that technology and craftsmanship offer to architectural modernism, the final move, beyond history, towards an eternal classicism, or a genuine sign and style of our times, destined to survive both the styles and the times themselves. |
