Light is what gives joy to buildings.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Light is architectural. It is sculptural.
Care should be taken that all buildings are well lighted: in those of the country this point is easily accomplished, because the wall of a neighbour is not likely to interfere with the light.
Buildings designed with careful attention to aesthetics arouse and enlighten their occupants and that promotes their good health.
Light is the task where many share the toil.
We require from buildings two kinds of goodness: first, the doing their practical duty well: then that they be graceful and pleasing in doing it.
This idea that light plays an important part in our life is important to me.
There is actually a physical connection between light and our health and wellbeing.
In anything there has to be dark and light. There's a lot of joy in my paintings and a lot of darkness.
Light is a powerful substance. We have a primal connection to it. But, for something so powerful, situations for its felt presence are fragile.
By appreciating the darkness when you design the light, you create much more interesting environments that truly enhance our lives.
