ABSTRACT

Title page: A window can ‘do’ many things architecturally at the same time. It lets light into a room, or out It provides a view out, or in. It might set up an axial relationship, like the ‘sight’ of a rifle, lining up with something in the distance. The formation of an opening creates a sill, which can be a shelf for books or plants. The window can be a place for display…. All this without even considering its role tern of the overall layout of a wall.
