In 1990, John T. Scott designed this artwork as a "visual" kinetic work, in which the artwork itself does not move, but is to be seen primarily by viewers in moving vehicles. The artist's concept for Street Windows originated with the tall, graceful windows in New Orleans and their beautiful views. These windows help frame the surrounding landscape, thus as the viewer's position changes, so does the "picture" in the window. All sculpture is composed of both positive and negative shapes, and in this piece, the artist encourages us to view the "negative" space of the landscape seen through the framed windows, and become more aware of the beautiful natural art that always surrounds us.

Although initially planned for the Navarre Street neutral ground areas, its current placement in City Park (Golf Drive & Friedrichs Boulevard) allows Park and New Orleans Museum of Art visitors the opportunity to "see" the splendor of the surrounding landscape.
