"The history of architecture is also the history of windows" said Le Corbusier, the Swiss-French pioneer of modern architecture. The modern window does not only consist of glass and frame, it is a complex structure which provides more than only views. Modern architecture is influenced by technological possibilities of window production, meaning that innovations in the window and façade technology open up opportunities for architects in the design of buildings.


While ancient China, Korea and Japan widely used paper windows, the Romans were the first known to use glass for windows around 100 AD. In England animal horn was used before glass took over in the early 17th century. Frames were made in timber and windows were small to suit the glass. In Georgian times windows with 6 glass panes per sash became common. Glass from that era often had air bubbles, distortions and curved ripples which can still be seen today, mostly in sash window styles in some historic buildings.
