the position of window in the space determine and govern the air movement
Dormer window typical example for passage of light and air
Puncture for air in traditional dwelling

Composition of opening rendering individuality to complete complex
Arches are used to generate voids for windows and other apertures for variety of purposes
The circular window behaves as an image maker for entire complex
