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

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

The garden, by design, is concerned with both the interior and the land beyond the garden.

Stonehenge was built possibly by the Minoans. It presents one of man's first attempts to order his view of the outside world.

In cities like Athens, poor houses lined narrow and tortuous streets in spite of luxurious public buildings.

The exterior cannot do without the interior since it is from this, as from life, that it derives much of its inspiration and character.
