Customer Reviews:
Nice, but no need to buy........2004-04-15
Firstly, I love minimalism. The two quotes at the beginning of this book sum up what is wonderful about minimalism rather nicely, and I encourage you to read them (at the book store). Secondly, some of the exibits in this book are really fantastic, especially the Japanese projects. I found a lot of inspiration looking at these designs, and the photography is mostly great.
BUT, you really don't need to buy this particular book. I suggest Minimalist Houses over this particular collection because it has a lot more variety, and greater international representation (eg. you'll see more from Germany, Sweedan, the U.S. and Japan) for about the same price. Minimalist Spaces is a nice book, but read it the store as an appetizer for Minimalist Houses, if minimalism appeals to you. Some people are uncomfortable with minimalism, and there are plenty of books and designs for you too :).
Good Selection.......2001-06-12
The materials in Minimalist Spaces are thoughtfully selected from broad range around the world. With its good quality graphics, it's a book worthy to read. If more specific details and graphic illustrations could be included, it would be much more helpful. Anyway, this is a good book of its kind.

I've never seen a book repeat so many of its images. Page after page of the same photos repeated over and over. I wasn't expecting that. The book is just okay. Nothing really new.

Customer Reviews:
minimally impressed.......2004-11-16
I ordered this book hoping to get a compilation of good minimalist architecture. What I received was a selection of a few very good projects amidst a lot of mediocre architecture. Minimalism is a catch all word...just because a house has white walls and a lot of glass does not make it 'minimal'. I expected much more analysis and critique than what is written.
In terms of the book itself: There are some very good images and photography with help to offset the bad choice of font and standard layout.
I would recommend this book as a good coffee table book, but nothing more than that.
so this is minimalist architecture...........2003-03-30
The book itself is well done. The pictures are plenty and of high quality. The somewhat limited amount of text deals mainly with concept and layout and not so much with construction techniques and materials. Twenty-three houses from around the world are featured.
This is a good coffee table book. However, if this is what minimalist architecture is then it might not be for the typical future home builder looking for unique but livable concepts (ala the not so big house). The homes all seem to have the look and feel of art museums and waiting rooms.
Book Description
This book offers a comprehensive overview of the minimalist trend and the influence it has had upon decoration and interior design. The projects chosen, although they cannot always be labeled as "100% minimalist," do clearly reflect the impact of this movement on architecture, art, fashion, and design. As the modern movement gradually began to fade out, minimalist art came into its own and then went on to become an unmistakable reference for the subsequent minimalist movement, as exemplified in architecture and decoration by the inspiring works of the modern masters Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier.

Acrylic Revolution.......2007-09-26
I found this book to be excellent. With all the new acrylic products on the market it is a wonderful guide for using them. The different techniques and formulas are great.
INTERESTING, ENJOYABLE,.......2007-09-01
I have to say, I enjoyed this book, but I also have to say, that the constant mentioning by the author of her use of Golden paint products as her favorites became quite tedious and I firmly believe cheapened her work.I also enjoyed the physical construction of the book. The spiral binding was a nice feature to incorporate, especially enclosed in a hard cover.
It would be nice to see more publishers adopting this style of book binding, they are a joy to read.
easy to follow.......2007-08-18
Acrylic Revolution is an excellent guide on how to use a variety of acrylic mediums. This is definitely the type of book you want in hand as you select items off the shelf at the art supply store. The author did a perfect job of making the many techniques easy to follow. The pages are bright and the photographs are very detailed. That being said, the interior page design of this book is not as "revolutionary" as the cover implies. It is very basic. If you judge a book by its cover, you may well be disappointed.
Acrylic Revolution -A must for the mixed media artist.......2007-08-16
As a mixed media artist,I have been painting with acrylics and a variety of other media for years. I have intuitively used many of the techniques presented in the book however,I never really understood the nature of acrylic media. Consequently, this book will be a valuable reference. It will also serve as a source of inspiration if I get "stuck" in the middle of a work. I love the lay out of each technique. Nancy Reyner does an excellent job of providing clear, concise instructions. The examples are also nicely presented.
If you are new to acrylics, this book is a must have. It will get you started with the best acrylic media out there, Golden's, and provide plenty of fun techniques to try.
A Must for Acrylic Painters.......2007-08-16
If you've got a question.......this book will answer it. Easy to use and follow with good visual and written instructions.
Buy it, and have a play with some interesting techniques.
