Simplicity in architecture often translates to the use of fewer or simpler materials. When architects prioritize simplicity in their designs, they tend to avoid complex or ornate materials that could detract from the overall aesthetic. Instead, they opt for materials that are understated and have a timeless appearance. These materials may include natural elements such as wood, stone, or glass, or they may be man-made materials such as concrete or steel. The use of simple materials can also lead to a more sustainable design approach, as it can reduce waste and promote the use of locally sourced materials. Overall, simplicity in architecture is often achieved through a thoughtful consideration and selection of materials that are functional, durable, and aesthetically pleasing.
