fenestration
Building's window design
Fenestration refers to the arrangement of windows and other openings in a building.
Architects discuss fenestration when planning how light enters a structure: The fenestration on the south facade maximizes natural light.
In medicine, fenestration means creating an opening in tissue or bone, or such an opening itself.
