Summary

This quote embodies the minimalist design philosophy advocated by Mies Van der Rohe. He believed that simplicity and restraint in design could have a greater impact and create a stronger aesthetic experience than excessive ornamentation. By stripping away unnecessary elements and focusing on essential components, the design can convey a sense of elegance and harmony. "Less is more" encourages a reduction in complexity and a thoughtful approach to design that emphasizes the power of simplicity.

They may lead us - to put it in extreme terms - to the Buddha or to the Bomb, and it is up to each of us to decide which path to take.
