Window Today – Still an Important Architectural Element of Exterior and Interior
Is the window just one of the most commonplace elements of buildings? Is it a simple void or aperture in the external wall? It has to provide optical connection between interior and exterior admits light and air; offer a view, ensuring mental comfort in the interior. However, it is the most exposed element of the building envelope. Construction and building physic properties of windows significantly impact formation of optimal indoor climate and they are crucially involved in the energy loss of the object. Nevertheless, architectural expression is one of the most important functions of the window. As history of architecture shows, window is one of the key architectural components of a building.
