Minimalism Removes Visual Complexity, Not Technical Complexity The appeal of a minimal sliding system lies partly in how little of the system appears to remain. Large panes of glass replace conventional areas of framing, vertical divisions become increasingly restrained, and tracks or perimeter frames may be integrated into the surrounding architecture. The completed elevation can […]
