As much as I appreciate Dieter Rams approach to design, I must say that favors one particular kind of design.
For a much more encompassing discussion on design (which could include software architecture) this 1972 interview with Charles Eames is mind blowing:

- semisight 15y agoI was waiting for someone to say this. The Dieter Rams philosophy has picked up steam, but people would be mistaken to conclude that good design will always be a sort of zen minimalism. The best design is whatever most clearly communicates the message. When I took a graphic design class a while back, my teacher used the example of a pizza flyer. By any standards, they're not minimalist. They're full of garish colors and crowded with pictures--and yet, they work. Personally, I can say that I'm much more likely to buy from a place with that type of ad than one with a "minimal" ad.
