1As the sun hits the exterior of Persian stained glass windows the interior of the building is flooded with kaleidoscopic colour, the most extravagant example of this being in the Nasir al-Mulk Mosque. Forming a corporal part building blocks of light beams cut sharp into onto surfaces and sit steadfast on the interior, stretching themselves, as time passes, over the floor, walls and ceilings. Inspecting the fallen light of a single glass piece within a window there is a harsh, crisp division between light stamped onto a surface and shadow laying right next to it. The effect solidifying the light and making it much easier to perceive its weight in the room which creates quite an impact, the effect it has on its immediate environment is very powerful.

THE WINDOW IN PERSIA (IRAN)

2Physically the windows can be pieces of glass inserted into intricate pierced marble or stone, however it is more likely that they are glazed in plaster before the plaster is set hard. Then ribs of iron are used to strengthen the plaster. Cold paint can be used to cover the glass but only on the protected interior as the exterior exposed to the harsh elements, practical yes, but not as aesthetically pleasing to view as the interior surface of the window. Especially when contrasted against the intricately detailed and bespoke interior fittings (ceilings details, carpets ect).

THE WINDOW IN PERSIA (IRAN)

Such a strong display/aesthetic use of light is only saved for buildings of high importance such as the Nasir al-Mulk Mosque. As light in this form is used to enhance the religious experience of the Mosque and it becomes a part of the spiritual and religious process for the Persians. The light taking on a sharp vividness which itself is illuminating yet is offset by the use of a plethora of colours to exhibit a sense of the spiritual. This shining light creates a sense of mystery or otherness, holy and sacred, being in the light and being touched by is a part of the Mosque the light literally illuminating the prayer. This light with its illusion of definable boundaries makes it easier for the recipient to acknowledge it as a divine light.

3This use of Shoji and subdued display/aesthetic use of light is featured in most Japanese traditional dwellings. I believe the shojis light is so alluring is due to the kinds of intricate yet sophisticated organic construction. It is after all the construction is responsible for how the end product will filter light and how that filtered light will feel or type of light the window will produce. The only processes are uses are soft and delicate such as stewing bark, boiling fibres to removing starch and placing in cold waters to remove lye. They are also beached naturally in a stream and impurities are picked out by hand. Pulp is created by smashing on rock and pulp is then pressed in a screen box. Born of the pure, cold, running, winter water the end product is quite different from the seared, forged, moulded and then painted glass of Persia.

4THE WINDOW IN JAPAN

Persian glass being sharp, harsh, brittle and stubborn the only way it gives in is by snapping, Japanese paper on the other is less forced less controlled in turn less harsh techniques to create a softer material it is organic and almost a natural processes that the paper makers only guide the process in which it is made seems to give some insight into how light filters through the material. In modern construction, the shji does not form the exterior surface of the building; it sits inside a sliding glass door or window.

When the light hits the exterior of a Japanese window a forgiving, indulgent light diffuses and coats the interior in a delicate glow. The Japanese paper window (Shoji) diffuses direct light into a light which doesnt barge or cut through into the space, in its place a simple elegance it radiates softly through the paper to lay gently on the surfaces of the room. Even as it touches the interior it seems to settle, everything from objects to surfaces in its place, placing a shroud of calm and a evoking a sense of elegance. Much more about the sense of meditation and understand simplicity compared to the powerful divinity and holiness of the Iranian window.
