Abstract. The article analyzes structural and functional correlations between modern window and the cultic religious and mortuary architectural elements of the antiquity and the Middle Ages - aediculae and naiskoi. The author justifies genetic and structural-functional continuity between wall niches and windows from the viewpoint of the integrity of esthetic, axiological and praxeological in the perception of a subject. According to the author, the utilitarian and pragmatic function of window quite naturally goes beyond the limits of market reality and its representative function transforms into cosmological and ideological.
