Simplicity
“For us to deem a work of architecture elegant, it is not enough that it look simple; we must feel that the simplicity it displays has been hard won, that it flows from the resolution of a demanding technical or natural predicament. We admire starkly simple works that we intuit would, without immense effort, have appeared very complicated.”
