Architecture that relies on a minimum number of elements
The word "Vokabular" has to do with expressing an architectural concept.
Or: Architecture that is effective with a minimum number of elements.
Or spell it out: Architecture that uses a minimum number of elements to express concepts.

an architecture of formal simplicity
Not quite a translation as such, but I think this is about the simplicity of the façade - could be decorative elements, or just architectonic elements; my suggestion aims at good EN style.
