Window allow daylight to penetrate the space<br />

and illumoinate the surfaces of a room, offer<br />

views to the exterior, establish relationship<br />

with adjacent spaces, and provide for natural<br />

ventialation.<br />

Architectural <strong>Design</strong> and Theory 1: <strong>Form</strong>, <strong>Space</strong> & Order<br />

Doorway offer entry into a room and<br />

influence the pattern of movement and use<br />

within it.<br />

Opening lying wholly within the enclosing planes of a space do not weaken the edge difinition<br />

not the sense of closure of the space<br />

Multiple openings may be clustered to form a unified composition with a plane, or be staggered<br />

or dispersed to create visual movement along the surface of the plane.<br />

As an opening whting a plane increases in size, it will at some point cease to be a gifure within<br />

an enclosing field and become instead positive element in itself.<br />

A horizontal openig that extends across a wall<br />

plane begins to visually lift the ceiling plane from<br />

the wall planes and give a feeling of lightness<br />

A window-wall admits more daylight, offer<br />

more expansive views, and visually expans<br />

the space beyound its phsical boundaries<br />
