Ribbon window (architecture)
In architecture, a ribbon of windows denotes a row of windows or glass elements placed next to one another. In some contexts, or in certain forms Fenstererbänder are also called row of windows , window wreath or window line called.
Often, ribbon windows in the facade are aligned horizontally and consist of windows in the same style. Ribbons of windows on stairwells or high halls such as in church rooms can also run vertically.
Geometrically strict and continuous ribbon windows are a hallmark of classical modern architecture .
In a broader sense, any arrangement of the same or similar windows that have a clear spatial and optical relationship to one another and thus set themselves apart from other facade openings can be referred to as a ribbon window.
