Alexander’s Pattern Language Cont’d
… this pattern helps complete the arrangement of the windows given by ENTRANCE ROOM (130), ZEN VIEW (134), LIGHT ON TWO SIDES OF EVERY ROOM (159), STREET WINDOWS (164)… …
Everybody loves window seats, bay windows, and big windows with low sills and comfortable chairs drawn up them.
… These kinds of windows which create “places” next to them are not simply luxuries; they are necessary. A room which does not have a place like this seldom allows you to feel fully comfortable or perfectly at ease. Indeed, a room without a window place may keep you in a state of perpetual unresolved conflict and tension -- slight, perhaps, but definite.
