What inspires you the most?

[ml]

Sounds simple -- but I am very curious...

When designing a building or interior space (or "simply" coming up with your overarching design concept) what inspires you the most?

Do you look to "external" or "internal" sources for inspiration?...

For instance, do you get inspired by your building materials, new architectural technologies, your design tools, someone's else's beautiful architectural work, a particular aspect of an architectural movement or someones writing that expands the way you "think"? (just to name a few)

Also, does your main source of inspiration change based on your project or does it remain the same -- becoming part of your own personal design process?

Perhaps you are working on a series within your own work -- on a quest to research or solve a particular problem.

Whatever the case, I would love to read what you have to say...
