ArchitectureWeek Description
A showcase of the changing ways aesthetics and methods for using glass have been developing since the 1990s. Since the time of the stained glass windows of Chartres Cathedral, glass has provoked fascination with its properties as a versatile material that permits light to enter buildings in spectacular ways. Modern examples from Foster and Partners, Frank Gehry, Herzog & de Meuron, Toyo Ito, Jean Nouvel, and many others, show how glass creates minimal, lightweight structures, allowing maximum daylight into buildings.
