That would work great but I just feel that people should be informed that all of the UV is blocked by windows, and even though it's clear that too much UV is deadly over time, it's also clear that the tiny amounts that many people who spend almost all time indoors get is very insufficient.

But if I am reading this then maybe those atriums would provide the full spectrum light. It sounds like a really good architectural concept.



That's why I was saying Hanging Gardens, which was essentially a very large Western World ziggurat. The balconies allow for a lot of access to direct light.

If you're worried about over-exposure, I suspect you could socially engineer people by making some routes in the building as fast or faster by going out and back in.
