Yes, architecture can be both simple and innovative. Simplicity and innovation are not mutually exclusive. Innovative design methods can lead to simple and elegant solutions that meet the needs of the users while also pushing the boundaries of what is possible in architecture. Simplicity in design can often be innovative in itself, as it can reduce unnecessary complexities and create more efficient and sustainable solutions. Architects who embrace a minimalist approach often strive to find innovative ways of maximising functionality while creating structures that are visually pleasing and have a positive impact on the built environment.
