 The surrounding context defined in the previous mappings of sky and situations from different angles are in this probe, folded and interwoven as one piece. Consequently the window device is a translation of the  experienced angles of the window in the room, into different atmospheric spaces in the device. This creates a more intimate and dreamy atmosphere at the same time as it increases privacy. A bedroom is a space where you are primary horisontal, and this quality is also to find in the model, where the horisontal lines are floating into each other. The result of the final probe is a deformation of the traditional window as being either flat and 2 dimensional, or transparent and non existing. This probe is an experiment of the window reclaiming it's depth and void as a 'in between' playground for daylight. The periscope is still incorporated in the model, not as the main narrative, but as a little hint in the corner.

inspiration for window devices

T h e   P e r i s c o p e

Optical device that enables images or views to travel around corners or disturbing angles by 45 degree reflecting mirrors. 
The observer is traditionally placed in a concealed or protected position. Which makes it possible for the observer to remain unknown or private.

Study trip to Lucerne, Switzerland 2011. 

Same principle as the periscope, except the use of reflective mirrors are translated in a refined way into the opening. 
In consequence  the context is prolonged and continues into the building.

The angles between the openings in the facade and the windows creates a playfull surface for the daylight. 
These openings both filter and direct views into the surroundings.
