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

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

It was only from an inner calm that man was able to discover and shape calm surroundings.

The mandala describes balance. This is so whatever the pictorial form.

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

The largest and most influential houses chiefly demonstrate the aloofness of the French approach.

It is hardly surprising that the Georgian domestic style emerges as the most remarkable in the world.
