México, 1961) inspired in the main character of the nouvelle The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. "What was Gregory Samsa's room like? What objects decorated it? What was the portrait of a woman hanging on one of the walls like? what were his routes, once he had become an insect? Was the landscape he looked out of his window beautiful?

An architectural book that invites us to see through a window."
