Abstract
According to the architect Le Corbusier, "the history of architecture is the history of the struggle for light, the struggle for the window." Humans have endeavored to improve the illumination, temperature, and humidity of buildings by designing different types of windows, and defying limitations of construction methods, and building materials.

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
