Summaries of content, keywords and links generated by algorithms. Thank you smmry.com:

Summary 1: How should we make the most of a view? It turns out that the pattern which answers this question helps to govern not the rooms and windows in a building, but the places of transition.

Summary 2: If there is a beautiful view, don't spoil it by building huge windows that gape incessantly at it.

Summary 3: If the view window is correctly placed, people will see a glimpse of the distant view as they come up to the window or pass it: but the view is never visible from the places where people stay.

Summary 4: Even for the man who lives there, coming past that view day after day for fifty years, it will still be alive.

Summary 5: Put in the windows to complete the indirectness of the view - NATURAL DOORS AND WINDOWS place them to help the TAPESTRY OF LIGHT AND DARK and build a seat from which a person can enjoy the view - WINDOW PLACE.

Summary 6: If the view must be visible from inside a room, make a special corner of the room which looks onto the view, so that the enjoyment of the view becomes a definite act in its own right.....
