John Maeda - Laws of simplicity

What does one need or use?
What can we as house designers do to help?
What should/could be done?
Why?

Law 1: Reduce
The simplest way to achieve simplicity is through thoughtful reduction.

Law 2: Organise
Organsiation makes a system of many appear fewer

Law 4: Learn
Knowledge makes everything simpler

Law 6: Context
What lies in the periphery of simplicity is definitely not peripheral.

Law 9: Failure
Some things can never be made simple.

--John Maeda

These are the ones that I connected with in relation to the house project.
