Simplicity in architecture can relate to the environmental context of a place by taking into consideration the natural surroundings and using local materials and building techniques that are suitable for the climate and landscape. This approach reduces the environmental impact of the building by minimizing the need for imported materials and energy-intensive construction processes. Additionally, simple and energy-efficient designs can reduce the building's overall carbon footprint by reducing the amount of energy needed for heating, cooling, and lighting. By harmonizing with the local environment and climate, a simple and sustainable building can contribute positively to the overall health and welfare of an ecosystem in general.
