TOP 5 WINDOW TRENDS FOR 2022
Back in 1926, the Bauhaus architect, Hannes Meyer, wrote, “Each age demands its own form.” In our post-COVID, post-Paris Agreement world, these words continue to ring true. Farzan Naghshineh of Architectural Window Systems (AWS) is tracking the evolution of building-design with interest. “Throughout COVID, people have felt a sense of deep, physical disconnection from each other.

In this article, Farzan identifies what he believes are the top five trends in building design in 2022. 12 | By Design 2022
