Answer
"Less is a bore" was a phrase coined by Robert Venturi as a postmodern antidote to the minimalist dictum "less is more." Venturi argued that architecture should embrace complexity, contradiction, and ambiguity, rather than striving for simplicity and purity. He believed that buildings should be visually interesting and engaging, and that they should reflect the diverse and often chaotic nature of modern life.
