The five points for the window of today

Throughout the 20th century, architects debated how a window should be, arguing and struggling for more (of less) transparency, for more prominent (or smaller) openings, for windows that open as much as possible (or remain hermetically closed). Among many others, Paul Scheerbart dreamt of a Glass Architecture (1914), a prelude to the work of Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier claimed for a fenêtre en longueur (1926) opposing Auguste Perret who argued it should be vertical, Richard Neutra set horizontal sliding glass doors as key for a Survival through Design (1954), Colin Rowe questioned transparency, both Literal and Phenomenal (1964 and 1971), Hundertwasser opposed Window Dictatorship and Window Rights (1990) and Robert Venturi and Denise Scott-Brown claimed for a return to smaller Windows – c.’65 (1995).
Yet, since the early 2000, the “minimalist window” set the new standard for the Millennium, combining unmatched slim aesthetics, simple and smooth operability and progressively more efficient and high performant glass doors and windows. panoramah! has been leading this way over the last years, focusing mainly on high-end custom residential architecture.
To keep pace with continuous evolution and development, panoramah! set its own rules for creating a window for today.
