Theme: Filters that protect the exceeding solar radiation but ease the visual relation with the street.
The Northern Italian traditional windows, with their two hinged louvered shutters and pivoting guides are a clear example of solar protection and full vision from the interior to the street. Also suggesting can be the roll-up blinds hanging over the balcony that in narrow streets allow lateral vision to the street extension while protecting ones privacy. Even roller shutters with guides projecting to the exterior are worthy to reconsider. We are searching for case studies that combine both objectives in a beautiful, useful and ingenious way.
