Modern architecture is based on a programme of social reform. Its intention was to bring light, air and sun into every home. People were opposed to dark street gorges, back‐yard architecture and bourgeois windows with so many layers of curtains. However, it was too bright to work in when the sun was shining. Everything was light and shade, there were no transitions. The old masters of modern building had in mind a dissolution of the division between inside and outside, when they started to realize façades as glass walls. If one wants a space that is open to the outside in the sense of a world feeling of transparency, three parameters have to be fulfilled: this structure must be flexible enough to let sunlight into the space and also protect it from the direct rays of the sun; then there has to be screening; and the last is ventilation.
