Minimalism in Architecture

The notion of concealment reminds me of a few things:
1. Coming Apart at the Seamless--this title was a reaction to the notion of seamlessness in design that was somewhat topical in the late 1990s/early 2000s. At least van Berkel and Bos did some writing about it in MOVE.
2. rammed into an envelope
3. "No Visible Means of Support"--throughout the 1980s, I happen to have practiced an art where "visible means of support" were indeed exploited (e.g., which could also be entitled "coming apart at the seamless", plus you'll find the first written manifestation of Rita Novel 1985.08.25).
4. "Ornament is the adoration of the joint." It's safe to say that this quotation had a lasting persuasive effect on my aesthetic.
