Simplicity and Traditionalism in Design


The shape of a building or object should be primarily based upon its intended function or purpose and revert back to basics.  The shape and organization of a building should be determined only by functional requirements and primitive design, instead of by traditional aesthetic concepts. Functionality and refreshing nakedness looks honest and is an inevitable design concept. Buildings could be spare and crisp in their principal masses, often punctuating plain surfaces with eruptions of lush, while influenced by cardinal directions. Concrete tangible forms consisting of many chambers on different levels borrows visual forms from non-Western or prehistoric peoples, such as Mesoamerica design. Primitive design has been important to the development of modern architecture, creating urban monumental buildings and structures where form follows function.
