Houses mean a creation, something new, a shelter freed from the idea of a cave.

The frame of the cave leads to the frame of man.

The Japanese put houses in among the trees and allowed nature to gain the ascendancy in any composition.

The English light is so very subtle, so very soft and misty, that the architecture responded with great delicacy of detail.

Georgian architecture respected the scale of both the individual and the community.

The interior of the house personifies the private world; the exterior of it is part of the outside world.

French architecture always manages to combine the most magnificent underlying themes of architecture; like Roman design, it looks to the community.
