ABSTRACT
This conclusion to Visual Delight in Architecture very briefly summarizes the wide range of arguments made throughout the book in favor of the essential importance of windows and views. It succinctly describes the current state of knowledge and tools relative to the role that daylight and views have in our buildings, and suggests potential directions for future research. The deep embrace of daylight and views as an essential element of a humane built environment will inevitably lead to a renaissance in design and research, as we explore new ways to optimize our buildings and cities for both current and future occupants.
