The Laws of Simplicity

Die "10 Gesetzte der Vereinfachung" von John Maeda

John Maeda hat in seinem Buch "The Laws of Simplicity" (MIT 2006) 10 Gesetzte vorgestellt, um sogar komplexe Technologie simpler zu gestalten. Damit will er ermöglichen, daß Objekte sowohl einfacher zu bedienen sind als auch gern benutzt werden.

Ten Laws:

1. REDUCE – The simplest way to achieve simplicity is through thoughtful reduction.
2. ORGANIZE – Organiszation makes a system of many appear fewer.
3. TIME – Savings in time feel like simplicity
4. LEARN – Knowledge makes everything simpler
5. DIFFERENCES – Simplicity and complexity need each other.
6. CONTEXT – What lies in the periphery of simplcity is definetly not peripheral.
7. EMOTION – More emotions are better than less.
8. TRUST – In simplicity we trust.
9. FAILURE – Some things can never be made simple.
10. THE ONE – Simplicity is about substracting the obvious, and adding the - meaningful.
