Development of Building Style
The last few years to bloom once used the term minimalist home. Ordinary people usually use this word to indicate style house was the current trend of house style that has a simple and clean form of ornaments.

Minimalist style is derived from the minimum. This style was born as a result of thinking in the art world began was mentioned about in the 1950s. In principle, minimalist art is an attempt to present the essence of a beauty by reducing as much as possible components of the art of decorating is meant. For adherents of minimalist art, decorations will only hide the real beauty of a work of art.

The development of thought always precedes the art world and inspire the flow of forces within the world of architecture. This may be because adopting the notion of art in architecture takes time and involves many parties. The world of architecture requires a larger portion than objectivity subjectivity in the art world artists.

In addition to developments in art style, the style of architecture was also influenced by other factors such as better technology, materials or work or construction methods.

Change the culture and lifestyle while also providing a major influence on the emergence and growth in understanding the flow of minimalist architecture. We have people slowly moving from a traditional society to modern society even the hyper-modern. In the past, when the feudal culture is very strong in people’s lives, developing architectural style is a style which was associated with specific functions are limited to public buildings is closely related to power. While at this time, changes occurred in the structure of society which is also affected to the smallest community unit is the family. If the 70/80-an year, a house to accommodate more family groups under one roof. Sometimes in one house there are several heads of families who are still connected in the bonds of blood (extended family). In the house there are fathers, mothers and children and grandparents, even there are also children who have been married too. Division of labor in such households is very clear, the task of earning a living bahwasannya charged to the father (the father) and the domestic duties of home care and care charged to a mother (or female).

Now the extended family was already rare. Small families now prefer to have their own life as a nuclear family, with members of the only father and mother and one or several children alone with the addition of a domestic servant. Even in the hyper-modern life is now commonly encountered in family life is a father or a mother with one or several children, usually known by a single parent (single-parent).

Nuclear family division of labor the program has a relatively varied, with the workings of the mother’s part. Domestic functions assigned to the staff of helpers to take care of the house.

Father and mother busy at work to make them choose a more modest house in treatment. Even down to the fabric of space to change. Hierarchies that used to house a complex and multilevel (rather than the literal meaning of a ladder lho), now turned into a simple. Screen-screen space in the form of walls and partitions decreases. Merge spaces were found for ease of access and maintenance.

Shape and Space
In assessing the quality of a house, maybe a lot of people trapped in the assessment of what appears to the eye, the shape and Rupa. Yet another aspect that is not less important is the space. Form and space in architectural theories already much discussed, but have not become public discourse because it is ‘intangible’.

Understanding the form and space have long been introduced by the thinkers, one of which was Lao Tzu (550 BC). One of them is expressed in translation as follows:

“. we make a vase from the cloud of clay. Is the empty space in
vase is made useful. ”

Assessment of the quality of the work space in a minimalist style architecture also needs to be understood. Simply put, space formed from the physical boundaries of a more assertive as a wall and the other room bulkhead. However, the actual limit is not solely made of solid wall. The boundaries can be expressed with color, light-dark, circulation limits, transparent glass and activities.

Minimalist spaces are usually designed with multiple meanings, so that space can be used for purposes broader. The living room can be integrated with the family room and kitchen. Temporally these spaces meant to activities that took place in it. The limits are not used to divide the massive room, for example by using the furniture. Thus the change in furniture layout will change the function, meaning and quality of these minimalist space.

This solution is useful for many homes can function more optimally. In normal times, these spaces are used by residents with the limits of small appropriate activities. And when the last family gathering, so that space can be combined by eliminating the boundaries of the non-massive.

Similarly, the outer space that is formed within the home lot area. This space can be formed by the massive form of the building so as to create the front yard, side yard and rear yard, or even the inner-court.

Misguided in Architecture Minimalist
Departure from the historical development of minimalist architecture above, we can make an assessment of the use of architectural style of the house. Is the force is indeed consistent with rational reasons and aesthetic background or just a cosmetic building instead of showing the beauty even cause technical problems.

This assessment is important because it involves interpretation of the quality of the house by the owner of the house itself. This mistake can result in not betahnya enlargement residents and building maintenance costs, and ends at the line of a newspaper column titled ’sold’.

Minimal jargon most frequently used among developers today to sell the houses they were made. However, if examined, there is a small part that sells only style without being followed by a real minimalist ideals. Minimalist elements that apply only to appear a mere patch only visually. Sometimes aspects of beauty visualpun failed to present even cause problems due to lack of
anticipation of local climate conditions in Indonesia.

One again the most important, about the Minimalist Architecture misguided assumptions about the cost of. Minimalist architecture had nothing to do with the low cost of development, although with consideration and selection of appropriate materials to produce buildings with low cost. On the contrary, minimalist architecture or house tend to be more expensive because it requires handling-handling design that is not standard, both of material and technical implementation.

Learning from previous experience
There is a risk that will be borne by the owner of the house if you select the style of the building with only considering the aesthetic aspects. The style is usually the most rapid obsolescence of the other parts of the building. Once the walls are still standing strong, the style of the building is no longer compatible with the era. Houses like these will soon seem archaic and outdated.

Probably still attached in our observations of how the house style of the 80s had adopted a particular style at that time. At that time, concrete technology on the rise. Likewise, the solution of concrete spray finishing using a bestseller when it became the choice of architects and home owners for the finishing touches on the exterior of the house. But now, these buildings look old and outdated compared to other houses that tend style neutral.

Will the minimalist houses now experiencing the same thing at some point soon from now? These houses look old and shabby for failing to anticipate the effects of climate. Simple fields in a minimalist building with a beautiful color when the construction can be turned into scrap-Moret paintings of nature from rain and heat as the season changes. Patches of mold and mildew are often not addressed by the architect when drawing a 3D model of the house, then will appear the damage brought minimalism style.
