Naked object

One of the original motivations for the models, views and controller idea was to be able to automatically produce a default graphical interface for any object. ~ Alan Kay

In object-oriented designs, the naked-object approach is a design principle that forbids any non-generic user access to objects. Instead, users access naked objects through generic views and controllers. It was originally proposed by Steve Putz and Alan Kay during the development of Smalltalk. Naked objects are named after Richard Pawson's 2004 thesis.
