Fenestration is a term that can be used to describe the arrangement, quality, quantity or aesthetic characteristics of the totality of windows on a building’s façade. The origin of the word comes from ‘fenêtre’ – French for window.

Usage of the term fenestration may include the following:

* The amount of bricks to be used for the facade will depend on the fenestration (the more windows there are the fewer bricks will be needed).
* The architect decreed that the fenestration should conform to strict rules of rectilinear geometry and alignment.
* The client insisted on Gothic-style fenestration.
* The fenestration formed part of a regular, alternating rhythm of solid and void which lent the façade a dynamic quality.
