About this Quote

This quote by Stephen Gardiner talks to the importance of the interior of a building or structure. He is suggesting that the exterior of a building depends on the interior for its inspiration and character. He is emphasizing the significance of the interior design of a structure, as it is from this that the outside will draw its inspiration and character. The interior of a structure is the foundation of its design, and it is from this that the exterior will be built. Without the interior, the outside would lack the inspiration and character that it requires to be effective. Gardiner is suggesting that the interior of a structure is simply as essential as the outside, which the 2 must interact in order to create a successful design.
