Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Art - Architecture / History of Construction, grade: 1,5, Zurich University of Applied Sciences, language: English, abstract: The aim of this paper is to obtain an architectural understanding of openable windows in a work place, but it will focus more on openable windows in connection with human well-being. This topic is of contemporary value, since technological innovations have changed architectural structures, in which artificial lights are mostly integrated in providing light distribution to a workplace.
