Windows are a vital part of any building they help activate a space and bring it to life.
Portuguese photographerAndr Vicente Goncalvespays tribute to this architectural element in his ongoing series calledWindows of the World.
Through Goncalves' project, it’s clear that there’s no shortage of unique facades.
Some window frames are fairly standard as white rectangular shapes, but they punctuate gorgeous, repeat-pattern tiles.
This makes a bold statement against the busy backgrounds.
Other frames don bright colors and visually pop from the neutral bricks and stone.
The photographer later compiled the thousands of pictures he had taken andWindows of the Worldwas born.
[It’s] a big evolution from the earliest windows that were only a hole in the wall.
