Yes, simple architecture can fit into the urban fabric. In fact, simple architecture can sometimes be more successful in a complex urban environment because it can help create a sense of visual harmony and coherence. Simple buildings can also be more adaptable to changing needs and can have a longer lifespan than more elaborate and decorative buildings. Additionally, simple architecture can be cost-effective, which is important in cities where space is at a premium and construction costs can be high. However, it is still important for simple buildings to be designed with consideration for their context, to ensure that they enhance rather than detract from the surrounding urban fabric.
