Birthed in the 1960s, minimalism in architecture and interiors espoused a return to simple forms and colors, creating the most dramatic effect with the least amount of materials. Its relevance continues to this day in a world where rapid growth by accretion has led to much which is superfluous and our senses are in a constant state of overstimulation. Contemporary Minimalist Spaces takes a completely fresh look at the state of the movement through spaces that provide both spiritual sanctuary and artistic respite. Not limited solely to residential settings, this book also examines hotels, restaurants, retails shops and offices that consciously exemplify the goals of minimalism while highlighting the incredible breadth of manifestations. Includes historical context, stunning photographs, and plans for projects that span six continents.

Perhaps the single most important aspect of any successful brand, a color is often recognizable long before the form of a logo or the letters that make up a business name. A powerful tool when employed effectively, it can trigger a multiplicity of responses from the emotional or nostalgic to the covetous or inspirational. Rarely an accident, each arises out of a distinct dialogue where the brand goals of the client are highlighted and in turn met by the designer a conscious choice of identification. Colouring Your Brand showcases effective brands through their use of color on a variety of materials including business cards, packaging, promotional design, stationery, and much more. Includes color chips for each brand presenting distinct CMYK ratios. Foreword by renowned designer Michael C. Place.
