“For us to deem a work of architecture elegant it is hence not enough that it look simple: we must feel that the simplicity it displays has been hard won that it flows from the resolution of demanding technical or natural predicament.

We deem a modern Swiss house elegant because we not how seamlessly its windows have been joined to their concrete walls and how neatly the usual clutter of construction has been resolved away. We admire starkly simple works that we intuit would without immense effort have appeared very complicated.
