description The article aims to examine the main theories, approaches and practices related to minimalism in architecture, from its historical origins to contemporary trends. It seeks to explore the aesthetic, functional and emotional benefits of minimalism, as well as the challenges associated with its application in various architectural contexts.Methodology: The methodology employed is a comprehensive narrative review of the existing scientific literature on minimalism in architecture. Several databases were consulted, such as Archidaily, Google Scholar, Scielo and the Journal of Architectural Lighting, using specific terms and Boolean operators to refine the search. The period covered by the review included articles published between 2020 and 2023, and at the end, 11 articles relevant to the study were identified.Results: The article results indicate that minimalism allows for the reduction of the superfluous, allowing spaces to speak for themselves and highlight the beauty of materials and functionality. This fosters a deeper connection between humans and their environment, making it a meaningful response to contemporary challenges. In the practical context, it is suggested that architects and urban policy makers consider minimalism as a key approach to creating livable spaces that promote sustainability and well-being.Main Conclusions: The main conclusions of the article include: Minimalism in architecture is not only an aesthetic trend, but also a way of life that contributes to visual clarity and emotional calm.Its practice can improve quality of life by optimizing the use of space and fostering an environment that promotes reflection and introspection.Integrating minimalist principles into architecture can result in more functional and pleasant environments, helping to create a more balanced and harmonious world.
