The study of windows as an element of interchange between the cycles of the day, the seasons and domestic life is the central theme of this publication: on the one hand, the formal language of the building and its interaction with its setting and, on the other, the organization of the program as a function of the window. In the cases given, the position and direction of the window respond to certain specific conditions of its surroundings. The 20 houses featured in the book show plans by both famous and emerging architects, in which the window is the basis of the design of a house. This selection traces a map of current trends in the architecture of family homes, emphasizing relevant strategies in house design with the window as a subject for experiment.
