Abstract
The research addresses the concept of logic as an influential design approach to achieve formal minimalism in modern architecture. By reviewing many studies that dealt with the concept of formal minimalism, it was found that they did not shed light on this complex relationship between it and logic. From here, the knowledge gap emerged, which is the weak clarity of the relationship of logic as a design method to the concept of formal minimalism. The research question and its problem emerged: “Does logic affect formal minimalism?” Therefore, the research sought to clarify this relationship and answer the research question by building a theoretical framework that explains both logic and formal minimalism. The research also aims to conduct a practical study that includes graphic analysis and examination of the works of famous architects to determine the main architectural formal characteristics and provide a comprehensive analysis of this subject. The conclusion summarizes how these architects’ approached minimalism, emphasizing the use of basic shapes, simplified lines, flat surfaces, and various other factors.
