Architecture develops along with particular society changing. In the period of modern, some traditional architecture with their complex rules become considered old fashioned. It was not implemented in modern buildings. When functionality becomes priority, minimalist architecture, recognized as Neo-Modernism, spreads and offers reflection of modern lifestyle. However, every style is not always suitable for each circumstance. The unconditional application of style can create another problem instead of a solution. This essay will discuss the existence of minimalism in architecture; its historical relationship with modernism, the theoretical reviews which underpin the discussion and the appropriate adaptations need to be made to fit in tropical climate.
