How is the window
made?
The window jamb is made of wood and the building is brick. The
glass seemed to be highly reflective.
How does it feel?
Due to the poor shape of the building, the window has been partly boarded
up and painted over. However, the space with the window and skylight
could have once been a bright space.

How is the window
made?
The opening consists of a semicircular window and glass paned doors.
Tectonically, both of these elements read together as one "window."
The mullions are painted wood. The doors are operable but the
semi-circular window is not. The wall is very thick and the
window/door is placed approximately in the middle. The interior
ceiling surface is splayed to throw light on the ceiling and further in
the entry space.
How does it feel?
The splayed ceiling makes a beautiful pattern of light and dark. The
rhythmic window/doors form a reading of a colonnade.

Architect:
W.P. Stephenson
How is the window
made?
The window consists of metal mullions and textured glass to provide
privacy in the bathroom. Additionally, a fan was placed in one of
the panes of glass to provide for more ventilation. The top window is an
awning window and the bottom opens up the opposite way.
How does it feel?
The space feels like the window will provide adequate ventilation and
privacy.

George W. Kelham
How is the window
made?
The bay window in the philosophy library occurs on both ends of the
rectangular room. This space can be used as a reading nook.
The window is a casement window, the mullions are metal and the window
sill is wood.
How does it feel?
Some of the pictures may look like they are very full of contrast,
however while in the space the contrast did not seem as high. The
tall windows make the space seem very regal and important.

Architect:
Arthur Brown, Jr.
How is the window
made?
The window seems to be a double hung metal window. It is
positioned in a plane on axis with the void of the stair well. The
light from the window bounces off close surfaces thus illuminating the
whole plane of the window.
How does it feel?
At first glimpse one would think there was a skylight from above when in
fact there was a window. Due to the tight hallway, with many
reflective surfaces, the light from the window illuminates the whole space
above and this acts as a skylight.
The window is hidden behind the roof

Building:
Cesar Chavez Student Learning Center
Completion Date:
1961
Architect:
Hardison & DeMars
How is the window
made?
The window is made by the the overlapping folded planes of the roof.
The places where the roof connects to the walls are also windows.
The actual window has black mullions. Since the roof is reddish
in color the light coming in through the diamond windows is red.
How does it feel?
Since the space is a double story space the complexity of the ceiling
leads is balanced by the spaciousness of the room. The light coming
in through the seems to be acting more like a decorative fixture rather
than admitting any real light to the space.

How is the window
made?
The window has metal mullions and is probably placed within a stud
wall. Part of the window is operable.
How does it feel?
The window seems to be more decorative rather than a primary source of
daylight since right around the corner there is a whole wall of glass
doors. Additionally, the carved out space above the interior of the
window doesn't seem to have any purpose.

Architect:
Moore Ruble Yudell
How is the window
made?
The windows are located right before one enters the conference room on
the fourth floor. Thus, this window area serves as a gathering and
mingling point. The metal window is operable and hinges out to
provide for ventilation.
How does it feel?
This window feels cozy and a natural point for meeting and viewing the
outside.
