On: Minimalism Isn’t the Alpha and Omega of Design

[Aegean]

The term 'design' is taken differently here, with more emphasis on art than engineering.

If you're engineering a piece of work, your design will surely be better if it is minimalistic. But if what you mean by 'design' is an artistic approach, certainly minimalism is not a goal.

"If you're engineering a piece of work, your design will surely be better if it is minimalistic."

That all depends on what you mean by "engineering." :-)
