Glass Architecture
Glass Architecture refers to a design style that prominently features glass as a primary building material. This approach allows for expansive views, natural light, and a sense of openness. Structures often incorporate large glass panels, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.
The use of glass in architecture can enhance energy efficiency through modern technologies like double glazing and solar control glass. Notable examples include the Crystal Palace in London and the Glass House by architect Philip Johnson, showcasing how glass can be both functional and aesthetically pleasing in contemporary design.
