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

It was the drawing that led me to architecture, the search for light and astonishing forms.
Light is architectural. It is sculptural.
When you're on this major English estate, breathing in the English air, and it's untouched, you can feel its presence. It's a whole different feel. It really felt like we were there living it. It didn't feel modern, ever.
The air of the English is down-to-earth. They care about details; there's a tradition, but there's also a counter-culture: the younger generation versus the older generation and so on. But then that's well blended into a happy balance and crystallised into common sense.
Architecture struck me between the eye and the eyeball.

The secret of good architecture is having more than meets the eye.
Architecture arouses sentiments in man. The architect's task therefore, is to make those sentiments more precise.
But I feel truly wowed by the architecture and the meaning of the architecture if you get lost in it and think about the man hours in the smallest little chapel, and the love involved. God it's fantastic.
I feel very English. I'm proud of it. I wanted there to be a thread connecting everything, the songs, clothes, artwork, even the string arrangements. It all creates a certain atmosphere.
