#reductionism
Reductionist elements, such as windows framed in metal topped with bolted strips in the spirit of the Wiener Werkstätte, convey the minimal radicalism of fashion designer Rick Owens’s penthouse apartment overlooking the Lido in Venice. Mattresses and bolsters top a large stone banquette, which is an extension of the stone flooring. A chair by Eliel Saarinen sets next to a sculpture by Thayaht; the wooden stool is by Owens.

And every physicist is, at heart, a mathematician.
And every mathematician is, at heart a philosopher.
And every philosopher is, at heart, a biologist.
