Quote by Arne Jacobsen

And when an architect has designed a house with large windows, which is a necessity today in order to pull the daylight into these very deep houses, then curtains come to play a big role in architecture.

And when an architect has designed a house with large window

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of large windows in modern architectural design as a means to bring natural daylight into deep houses. In response to such design choices, curtains are emphasized as a significant element in architecture. Curtains serve a dual purpose: they allow for the regulation of incoming daylight, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal and creating a visually pleasing environment while also providing privacy and control over the outside world. In this way, curtains are recognized as an essential design element that complements the functionality of large windows in contemporary architecture.
