A bow window or compass window〔Sturgis, Russell. "Bow window, Compass window" ''Sturgis' illustrated dictionary of architecture and building: an unabridged reprint of the 1901-2 edition''. Mineola, N.Y.: Dover, 1989. Print.〕 is a curved bay window.〔("Bow window" at The Illustrated Architecture Dictionary )〕 Bow windows are designed to create space by projecting beyond the exterior wall of a building, and to provide a wider view of the garden or street outside and typically combine four or more casement windows, which join together to form an arch. Bow windows first appeared in the eighteenth century in the United Kingdom, (and in the Federal period in the United States). White's Club, in St. James's Street, London features a famous bow window.〔(Photos )〕 ==See also== * Oriel window * Bay window 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「bow window」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
