"What I look for is the excitement of empty space. It has the capacity to bring architecture alive, just as it does a Chinese scroll painting. Emptiness allows us to see space as it is, to see architecture as it is, preventing it from being corrupted or hidden by the incidental debris of the paraphernalia of everyday life. It offers the space, both psychological and physical, for contemplation and the serenity that can encourage meditative quiet and calm, without thejarring distraction of possessions." List of Plates, Bibliography, Index. Illus., color photographs and reproductions. 272p.
