If your eyes are the window to your soul, then windows are the eyes to a building’s soul. Well, that may not be right, but I’m sure you get where I’m going with this. Although there have been a slew of innovative architectural designs, I’ve noticed a vast difference when odd architectural windows are implemented.
Perhaps it’s because many designers aren’t taking those window risks or we do see more of building’s souls, either way, these odd architectural windows are a sight to behold.
