Architecture

minimalism

One important trend in Modernist

architecture is the movement toward

minimalist or reductivist design Hallmarks

of Minimalism include :

1- Buildings are stripped of all but the most essential

elements

2- Emphasis is placed on the outline, or frame, of the

struture

3- Interior walls are eliminated

4- Floor plans are open

5- Lighting is used to dramatize lines and planes

6- The negative spaces around the structure are part of the

overall design

Minimalism describes movements in various forms of art and

design, especially visual art and music, where the work is set out

to expose the essence or identity of a subject through

eliminating all non-essential forms, features or concepts.

Minimalism is any design or style in which the simplest and fewest

elements are used to create the maximum effect.

French national

library The National Library of France traces its

origin to the royal library founded at

the Louvre by Charles V in 1368.

Charles had received a collection of

manuscripts from his predecessor, John

II, and transferred them to the Louvre

from the Palais de la Cité. The first

librarian of record was Claude Mallet,

the king's valet de chambre, who made a

sort of catalogue, Inventoire des Livres

du Roy nostre Seigneur estans au

Chastel du Louvre. Jean Blanchet made

another list in 1380 and Jean de Bégue

one in 1411 and another in 1424.

Charles V was a patron of learning and

encouraged the making and collection of

books. It is known that he employed

Nicholas Oresme, Raoul de Presle and

others to transcribe ancient texts. At

the death of Charles VI, this first

collection was unilaterally bought by

the English regent of France, the Duke

of Bedford, who transferred it to

England in 1424. It was apparently

dispersed at his death in 1435
