I think minimalism for the sake of minimalism is really boring because it's an approach getting old (thinking back to the beginnings of modernism with peter behrens, van der rohe, corbusier etc..). People are used to this kind of architecture nowadays, which is why I think it is kind of boring and why you get buildings looking like senseless vacuums*.
If we're honest reducing influential factors is just a really easy way to enforce a buildings expression. But that's also a reason why minimalism is used in the wrong situations and a lot of buildings lack expression*. The architecture I'm personally interested in is the one that are controversial as such nowadays.
I just saw this and thought it was actually quite funny. check it out
