Among these proposals, we compare W.Vermaat’s thesis and a previous paper of the author. Then we confront these works with the new perspective brought by Lecomte and Retoré, which seems to gain in clarity by separating the syntactic and the sema...

Studies in this paradigm have typically compared minimalist materials against traditional “system-centred” materials. Additionally, some studies have investigated the effects of specific minimalist design...
