Increasingly today we spend more time between places, travelling -- by public transport or car -- from home to the office, taking the kids to sport, or visiting friends.

In the course of a day, some of us spend hours mobile, transiting through a gigantic network of public space.

The visual quality of this experience -- what we see from the window of the train or the car -- is of great concern to Francine Houben, one of Europe's most active architects.
