I sense light as the giver of all presences, and material as spent light. What is made by light casts a shadow and the shadow belongs to light.

Louis Kahn

Light is a powerful substance. . . I like to work with it so that you feel it physically, so you feel the presence of light inhabiting a space.

by James Turrell

Light has not just intensity, but also a vibration, which is capable of roughening a smooth material, of giving a three-dimensional quality to a flat surface.

by Renzo Piano

Architecture which enters into a symbiosis with light does not merely create form in light, by day and at night, but allow light to become form.

by Richard Meier

. . . visual truth lies in the structure of light.

by Richard Kelly

Light belongs to the heart and spirit. Light attracts people, it shows the way, and when we see it in the distance, we follow it.

by Ricardo Legorreta

Light is the first element of design; without it there is no color, form, or texture.
