Doors and Windows are the soul of a building, because only through them does the darkness inside vanishes.
Home is the place you will yearn for, no matter where you go. Every house needs doors and windows for the movement of air, light, and people. They connect the inner world of a building to the outer world. They are like the soul of the building and bring in the light and air into the house. The original purpose of windows was to bring the air into the building during night when the doors would be closed for safety reasons. Without them, no architecture is complete. They are the basic elements of a building.

Windows to the Soul
Architectural photography is a genre of photography that focuses on capturing photographs of buildings or structures. It involves photographing the interiors and exteriors of buildings, bridges, structures, and
cityscapes. Different compositional elements such as leading lines, symmetry, texture, and repetition, are used. Doors and windows pique my curiosity because they represent the architectural styles of the past and give insight into a region’s heritage. They tell us so much about the streets, about history, and about culture. Doors and windows come in all shapes and forms. They can be big, small, plain, colorful, old,or new. Whatever the size or colour be, they tell a lot about that place. I believe that a place’s history resides in the doors and windows of that place. In this chapter, I have taken photos of only doors and windows. I have tried to show the uniqueness of each of the doors and windows. So the viewers can see the difference between the architectural styles in each photo.
