Simplicity in architecture often incorporates principles of natural light and ventilation as it emphasizes the use of simple, efficient and functional designs that minimize the need for artificial lighting and mechanical ventilation. Natural light is an essential element of simplicity in architecture as it helps to create a calming and pleasant environment, enhances the visual appeal of space, and supports healthy living by providing necessary vitamin D. Similarly, ventilation is essential in simplicity in architecture as it improves indoor air quality, regulates temperature and reduces energy consumption, and reduces the need for artificial cooling and heating systems. Simplicity in architecture, therefore, promotes the use of natural lighting and ventilation through designs that maximize the flow of light and air into living spaces, such as large windows, skylights, and operable vents, among others.
