Inspiration | Notre Dame du Haut, Ronchamp by Le Corbusier
Light changes colour impressions: here, the irregularly positioned windows reveal the extreme thickness of the walls in the church building. The surfaces of the walls, which are actually covered in white plaster, have a different appearance in the back-lighting; they seem to be more pale grey to dark grey.

Inspiration | Skyspaces by James Turrell
"So to have this sort of blended light from the stars and this new, 8½-minute-old light from the sun is like having a Beaujolais and then a finer, older mature wine as well." - James Turrell
