As macrotendências são correntes de pensamento que influenciam o comportamento da sociedade e que se manifestam por meio da arquitetura, da moda, das artes, enfim, por todas as expressões culturais e sociais de um tempo. Uma das expressões percebidas, já há alguns anos, é a do Minimalismo, que foi responsável pela inversão do valor material e superficial pela valorização do essencial e deu força à postura de que menos é mais.
Minimalism is a break with the past, a spirit of cleaning excesses, which emphasizes quality over quantity. Minimalism can be something entirely modern and new. THE minimalist design it brings less lines, less colors, less materials and, thus, ends up reflecting a feeling of lightness to places and objects, given the perception of simplicity.
Minimalist design can be applied to all styles of architecture and objects, and turns out to be a more lasting language, as it brings fewer compositional references. The fact that it has a more synthetic design also helps places and objects last longer and manage to blend in with other aesthetics, whether previous or to come.
Generally, objects have few materials in their composition, and their shapes are more simplified. The architecture floors are monolithic, with solid color walls in light tones. Such aesthetic simplicity, filled with a feeling of simplicity of spirit, strengthens contact with nature and its elements in the search for the essential.
In this context, the projects of landscaping minimalists are, therefore, extremely integrated into architecture and create simple compositions of landscapes, with few species, and in a constant search for balance between the built and the natural landscape. The designs have sharp lines and create a deep sense of place.
The minimalist garden is a contemporary reading, but it maintains secular gardening concepts. From the point of view of the evolution of gardens, we can verify that Minimalism is the continuation of a tradition perceived in oriental gardens, which use few species of plants and organize external spaces with natural elements, such as sand, stone and water, in a very synthetic.
Today, landscape construction goes hand in hand with technology, in which the use of the best solutions and materials reduces the number of elements. The minimalist garden is becoming more and more popular, especially among those who want a peaceful place in their daily lives.

We can conclude, therefore, that minimalist design, whether of an object, a place or a landscape, proposes to:
- possess the ability not to tire or addict the look;
- reflect the lightness and simplicity of the way of thinking;
- contribute to a simpler life without so many excesses;
- fulfill the function precisely, without losing the aesthetic charm.
