“…In addition, while the walls were finished with marble, Inokuma's innocent sketches were engraved, and the deeply shaded front portal frame blocks excessive sunlight and at the same time becomes a symbol of Taniguchi's architectural design. The straight staircase in front of the sketched wall is a device that gives the space a sense of "depth" while providing circulation to go straight up to Inokuma's exhibition room [14]. In the early 1990s, Taniguchi pursued a style of creating spaces with elaborate horizontal and vertical divisions, and this museum became a decisive moment in completing such a style.…”

Recently, design work to empty a space has been arousing the interest of many people through the mass media. The phrase 'to empty a space' is synonymous with the meaning of 'to empty', or 'something not there', 'to remove', 'to be tidy'. In the artistic sense,'minimal' implies the meanings of 'excluding decorations','refined images', and 'simple lines or planes'. The beginning of the 20th century tended to be led by the Modern Movement, and by the end of the 60s, many other styles of architecture based on the Ideology of Modernism were formed. As part of the modernism, a new art trend called 'Minimalism' emerged, and it was derived not only into indoor spaces, but also into various fields such as music, culture, movies, fashion, architecture, furniture, and design. Most of all In 1997, the project that drew the greatest attention from the world's architectural world was the architectural design competition of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the center of modern architecture and contemporary art. It was a difficult task that attracted the attention of the world, as the extension would be built right next to such a famous building, resulting in comparison and evaluation. The final winner was this unexpected figure, Yoshio Taniguchi of Japan. Therefore, in this study the characteristics of minimalism in space are analyzed in connection with the elements that make up the space centered on the museum designed by Yoshio Taniguchi. The analysis items are divided into the elements applied to the design, the connection of the space, and the characteristics of materials, based on which this study attempts to analyze the value of the space. As the method of this study, minimalism was examined through review of literature and previous studies, and characteristics were analyzed through each case on how to express natural elements and plan in connection with certain spatial elements for minimalist design against four art museums designed by Yoshio Taniguchi between 1991 and 2004 through personal visits and excerpts from web searches and literature. As a result of analyzing his work, the characteristics of minimalism of Yoshio Taniguchi are a simple box-shaped structure, implement artificial and natural lightings and the spirit of emptiness. In the early 1990s, Taniguchi pursued a style of creating spaces with elaborate horizontal and vertical divisions, and Inokuma Museum became a decisive moment in completing such a style. Yoshio Taniguchi's works went beyond the refined and minimalist style of European designers and had a subtle oriental lyricism there. While the conflicting concepts of bigness and rusticity flew through neat straight lines and curves, they had a deep meaning. After all, the morphological motif of his minimalism architecture can be found in modernist thoughts of the West, but the philosophical motif and its development can be found in the view of nature of the East.
