-
- To achieve his aims, Suger's masons drew on the new elements that had evolved or been introduced to Romanesque architecture: the pointed arch, the ribbed vault, the ambulatory with radiating chapels, the clustered columns supporting ribs springing in different directions, and the flying buttresses, which enabled the insertion of large clerestory windows.
- The dark Romanesque nave, with its thick walls and small window openings, was rebuilt using the latest techniques, in what is now known as Gothic.
- Solid masonry was replaced with vast window openings filled with brilliant stained glass and interrupted only by the most slender of bar tracery—not only in the clerestory but also, perhaps for the first time, in the normally dark triforium level.
- The upper facades of the two much-enlarged transepts were filled with two spectacular rose windows.
-
- Ocular windows are common in Italy, particularly in the facade gable, and are also seen in Germany.
- Later Romanesque churches may have wheel windows or rose windows with plate tracery.
- The Collegiate Church of Nivelles, Belgium uses fine shafts of Belgian marble to define alternating blind openings and windows.
- Upper windows are similarly separated into two openings by colonettes.
- Characteristics of Romaesque architecture include the ocular window and the pairing of two arched windows or arcade openings within a larger arch, both of which seen here at the Abbey Church of St.
-
- Gothic architecture greatly increased the amount of glass in large buildings, partly to allow for wide expanses of glass, as in rose windows.
-
- The "Chicago window" originated in this school.
- It is a three-part window consisting of a large fixed center panel flanked by two smaller double-hung sash windows.
- The arrangement of windows on the facade typically creates a grid pattern, with some projecting out from the facade forming bay windows.
- These windows were often deployed in bays, known as oriel windows, that projected out over the street.
- This steel frame building displays both variations of the Chicago window, its facade is dominated by the window area (limiting decorative embellishments) and it is capped with a cornice, elements which are all typical of the Chicago School.
-
- Korean paper art includes all manner of handmade paper (hanji), which is used for architectural purposes (such as window screens and floor covering), printing, artwork, the Korean folded arts (such as paper fans and figures), and Korean paper clothing.
- New art forms, including a kind of impressionism specific to North Korea, rose to complement posters.

- English Gothic architecture (c. 1180–1520) is defined by pointed arches, vaulted roofs, buttresses, large windows, and spires.
- This style is defined by pointed arches, vaulted roofs, buttresses, large windows, and spires.
- Decorated architecture is characterized by its window tracery, which are elaborate patterns that fill the top portions of windows.
- The walls and windows are sharper and less flamboyant than those of the earlier style.
- This period saw detailed carving reach its peak, with elaborately carved windows and capitals, often with floral patterns.
-
- French Gothic cathedrals are characterized by lighter construction, large windows, pointed arches, and their impressive height.
- Gothic openings such as doorways, windows, arcades, and galleries have pointed arches.
- The pointed arch lent itself to elaborate intersecting shapes, which developed complex Gothic tracery within window spaces and formed the structural support of the large windows that are characteristic of the style.
- Another one of the most distinctive characteristics of Gothic architecture is the expansive area of windows and the large size of the many individual windows.
- The increase in the use of large windows during the Gothic period is directly related to the use of the pointed arch, the ribbed vault, and the flying buttress.
-
- Gothic architecture was developed in France and was characterized by lancet, or pointed, archways used for both windows and doorways.
- These allowed for both thinner walls and larger windows.
- The stained glass windows that seemed to replace walls altogether are the hallmark of French Gothic architecture.
- As the exterior view of the Cathedral demonstrates, Italian Gothic structures did not incorporate the stained glass windows, which had become so essential to French Gothic structures.
-
- In colder climates, windows can be placed to maximize the input of heat-creating light while minimizing the loss of heat through glass, which is a poor insulator.
- In the northern hemisphere this usually involves installing a large number of south-facing windows to collect direct sunlight, and restricting the number of north-facing windows.
- Certain window types, such as double or triple glazed insulated windows with gas filled spaces and low emissivity (low-E) coatings, provide much better insulation than single-pane glass windows.
- Deciduous trees are often planted in front of windows to block excessive sunlight in summer with their leaves, but allow light through in winter when their leaves fall off.
