The virtual window : from Alberti to Microsoft

Friedberg, Anne. (Author).

Summary: "In this wide-ranging book, Friedberg considers such topics as the framed view of the camera obscura, Le Corbusier?s mandates for the architectural window, Eisenstein?s opinions on the shape of the movie screen, and the multiple images and nested windows commonly displayed on screens today. The Virtual Window proposes a new logic of visuality, framed and virtual: an architecture not only of space but of time."--BOOK JACKET.
