"Ah,Life ... Of a child who becomes a man... Always near the sea where the sun... Teaches him to breathe toward the place where... The shadow of a seagull vanishes." From a poem of Odysseus Elytis.

In the beginning there is the light of the sun with such incandescence that it may surpass light anywhere else in the world.Light appeals because of its mystery and magic.We can neither touch,hold,nor feel it.As the symbol for gods,saints,angels,or rulers regarded as divine ,it has always been valued by the architect in his temple structures.

A distant natural vista.Sky.Sea.Flat or sloping land.Trees of varying heights and character.Grass.Rocks.Leafy ground cover.Gravel,peddles,crushed rock,streams,fountains,or pools of water.Steps,walks and pathways.Terraces with plain or textured brick,cement,mosaic or pebbled surfaces.

"The wheel's hub holds thirty spokes.Utility depends on the hole through the hub.The potter's clay forms a vessel.It is the space within that serves.A house is built with solid walls.The nothingness of window and door.Alone renders it usable.That which exists may be transformed.What is non-existent has boundless uses." :Lao - Tse

"Colors which you can hear with ears, Sounds to see with eyes, The void you touch with your elbows, The taste of space on your tongue, The fragrance of dimensions, The juice of stone.": Marcel Breuer
