Maeda’s SIMPLICITY
“I began this trek towards SIMPLICITY based upon a simple whim. I discovered that the letters of M-I-T (the school at which I serve as a Professor) occured in natural sequence in the word SIMPLICITY. Look at this: SIMPLICITY. I was even further surprised when I found that M-I-T is also in COMPLEXITY. To ignore this sign would be a kind of sacrilege for me, thus the quest for SIMPLICITY began.”
