“Architecture is (in part) “the art of leaving out irrelevant details”. Leaving out details, sadly, often derails into religiously ignoring details. The key word, however, is ‘irrelevant’: as the Chinese proverb says: people stumble over molehills, not over mountains. An architect consciously leaves out details that he or she has decided are irrelevant to the decisions to be made.”
