As we spend more time staring at TVs and computers - 'windows' full of moving images, texts, and icons - how the world is framed has become as important as what is in the frame. This book examines the window as metaphor, as architectural component, and as an opening to the dematerialised reality seen on the screen.

Half my research group seems to carry this book with them constantly. Their worn copies flip open at well read pages with notes scribbled all over them. It seems a book that one should have on paper, for the note-taking, and that I obviously need to read. My colleagues love it. My copy has been shipped so I'll read it soon.

From the introduction:
The window is an opening, an aperture for light and ventilation. It opens it closes; it separates the spaces of here and there, inside and outside, in front of and behind. The window opens onto a three-dimensional world beyond: it is a membrane of where surface meets depth, where transparency meets its barriers. The window is also a frame, a proscenium: its edges hold a view in place. The window reduces the outside to a two-dimensional surface; the window becomes a screen....more

SO. MANY. ENDNOTES.
The Architecture chapter is particularly enlightening. And while the points are frequently interesting I'm not sure it amounts to a point that can be summarized (or at least the conclusion doesn't suggest that it does). But it's a useful read.

Interesting. Especially Friedberg's in-depth treatment of the history of glass architecture and windows, etc. It was really interesting how it tied into the modernization and industrialization of buildings I am learning at the same time in my architecture class.
Brilliant book by a consummate master. Have used it as a text in several courses and it is always illuminating and worth the difficulty.
Interesting ideas but it was an extremely challenging read
Impressively comprehensive, but its sweeping theoretical/historical scope makes for a sometimes painfully dense read.
