    “"If there is a beautiful view, don’t spoil it by building huge windows that gape incessantly at it," writes architectural theorist Christopher Alexander. As an example, he describes a monk's courtyard with a slit in the wall allowing for only a brief glimpse of the ocean beyond. The view remains fresh and does not fade into the background "like the wallpaper."”
