The mere suggestion evokes crowded tenements (and real safety concerns). While we have generally accepted windowless office life, we have tended to balk at windowless living. Imagine our pensive geographer in such a setting. In the modern office, Vermeer’s window light is now an array of ceiling-mounted fluorescent light tubes. Open Windows Security settings Under Current threats, select Quick scan (or in early versions of Windows 10, under Threat history, select Scan now ). Today many people work in cubicles far from the nearest window, often in environments where they’re unaware of the weather (or the setting sun). Select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security and then Virus & threat protection. Over the years, however, new technology - structural supports, air-conditioning, artificial light - enabled us to move away from that standard, and from the Vermeer ideal. The reach of daylight meant that homes and office suites built before modern lighting seldom had spaces farther than 25 to 30 feet from a window.
And without natural light, your best alternative in the early 20th century was a weak task lamp with a hot incandescent bulb.
Even on sunny days, once you’re more than 25 to 30 feet from a window, there’s little light to speak of.
