Simplicity
For my final major project I did some research on simplicity. What it was, how it works and how we achieve this. According to it's definition is the quality or condition of being plain or uncomplicated in form or design.
By thinking of simplicity the first thing that comes to my mind is the Bauhaus, where they believed "ornament is crime" and "less is more". There slogan they had of functionalism: something is only designed to fit its purpose we can let beauty look after itself. Inspired by Wassily Kandinsky's work on the Bauhaus got me thinking of the primary forms [Triangle, Square and Circle], and how much we are surrounded by these in our everyday life.
Also I looked into John Maeda's book: Laws of Simplicity, which showed me how to achieve these, mainly by: reducing, organising, timing, learning.
I got inspired to go around and take some pictures of what I considered simple, and where the object achieved it's function mainly by the forms of Triangles, Squares and Circles.
So here are a couple of these pictures:
Sincerely,
Paloma
