What Can Windows Learn From Pictures?

Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Jonathan Louie

What can Windows learn from Pictures? Lately, it seems, the architects concern has been relegated to specifying and locating the Window, and manufacturers imbue Windows with other characteristics, but, for centuries we have understood the Window as a metaphor for media that represent reality, the real, in art. The article highlights windows and projects whose aims are to connect visuality with architecture by reclaiming the view through the window as a collection of material stuff that establish the visual and informational range of the subject beyond; linking seemingly immaterial imagery to the presence of matter.
