BELFAST DRAWING VISITORS Mention Northern Ireland, and two images likely come to mind: rolling green hills and violent clashes dressed up as religious unrest.

LEAVES OF GLASS Glass, as a building material, offers a special interlayer between our outer and inner space and has opened up and contained, as well as sheltered and revealed, the architecture of its time. Architects' pursuit of the minimal environmental envelope has created an evolutionary and reductionist approach, whereby glass has become a predominant and essential cladding material of contemporary architecture.
