“Less is more” goes the modernist dictum. But is it? In an age when we are endlessly urged to do “more with less”, can we still romanticise the pretensions of minimalism? For Pier Vittorio Aureli, the return of “austerity chic” is a perversion of what ought to be a meaningful way of life. Charting the rise of asceticism in early Christianity and its institutionalisation with the medieval monasteries, Aureli examines how the basic unit of the reclusive life – the monk’s cell – becomes the foundation of private property. And from there, he argues, it all starts to go wrong. By late capitalism, asceticism has been utterly aestheticised. It manifests itself as monasteries inspired by Calvin Klein stores, in the monkish lifestyle of Steve Jobs and Apple’s aura of restraint. Amid all the hypocrisy, it must still be possible to reprise the idea of “less” as a radical alternative, as the first step to living the life examined.
Pier Vittorio Aureli is an architect and theorist. He currently teaches at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London, and is visiting professor at Yale University. He is the author of many essays and several books, including The Project of Autonomy (2008) and The Possibility of an Absolute Architecture (2011).

評分啊啊啊啊啊
評分作者在書中對當代的消費主義泛濫的現象給予瞭有力但不失風趣的批判。然而和他齣的其他書一樣,在對現象進行瞭深刻的分析之後,作者提齣的對策卻相對無力。通過自我禁錮來擺脫消費主義的束縛終究隻是少數精英的一廂情願。

In essence, it is a book that is less about how we design architecture, but about how we live. For me, the inspiring point is the interpretation of asceticism as everyday activities that train our body and mind instead of an ideology. It is precisely when w...
