Alexander’s Pattern Language Cont’d
This conflict takes the following form. If the room contains no window which is a “place”, a person in the room will be torn between two forces:
1. He wants to sit down and be comfortable
2. He is drawn towards the light
Obviously, if the comfortable places … are away from the windows, there is no way of overcoming this conflict… A room where you feel truly comfortable will always contain some kind of window place …
In every room where you spend any length of time during the day, make at least one window into a “window place”.
