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

Land is the secure ground of home, the sea is like life, the outside, the unknown.

What people want, above all, is order.

In the East there is a gap between the top of the wall and the underside of the roof; the wall does not act as a support. Instead, it acts as a screen, and the Chinese were able to use it as they wished.

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

Until we perceive the meaning of our past, we remain the mere carriers of ideas, like the Nomads.

And so, inevitably, one returns to the centre of Western culture, Greece, and we have never, in any sense, lost our ties with the architectural concepts that this country's ancient civilization explored and demonstrated, nor with the political and social freedom that lay behind them.
