Description
The Minimal Intervention by Lucius Burckhardt is a collection of essays that explore the relationship between planning and building. First published in 1984, this book outlines the author's theory of minimal intervention, which posits that the smallest possible change can have a profound impact on our understanding of the environment. Burckhardt argues that our perception of landscape is not just about what we see, but also about what we imagine. He proposes a two-part approach to design: one that takes into account the physical landscape, and another that considers the mental landscape. This book delves into the second part, examining how our minds shape our understanding of space and how this can inform our designs. Through his work, Burckhardt offers insights into rationalization and needs in design, providing a unique perspective on the intersection of planning and building.
