But how would you even begin to analyse a building without understanding its context?


Because here is the room where my bed fits, and here is the room where my dining room table looks really beautiful in the sunlight, and here's the room that has a lot of blank wall space for my bookshelves.

When people move into churches, when factories are converted into apartments, when convenience stores are converted into schools, the original purpose of the building often has an effect. When factories are converted into apartments, those apartments usually have very high ceilings and enormous windows.

The creator's intent presumably had influence over why there are enormous windows, but if I'm living in the house, all I care about is how much light those windows let in.
