Glass Buildings – The transparent, ethereal nature of glass allows for
extraordinary creations in the world of architecture.
1.) THE LOUVRE PYRAMID

The Louvre Pyramid is one
of the most iconic works of glass architecture up to date.
Designe by I.M. Pei in
1984. It has a height of 70 feet and consists of 673 glass sections from tip to
base.
2.) Basque Health Department Headquarters in Bilbao

The Basque Health Department is created in angular glass with an almost
organically-inspired shape. When it comes to glass in architecture, this
building is easily amongst the world’s most progressive in form.
3.) Glass Staircase
Glass can be used as stairs by using
special architectural glass which is chemically treated, tempered and
laminated. It is possible to get the required strength to hold the weight of
itself and the people walking on it. Straight and curved glass stairs and
railings can be used for private and commercial projects. The stair can reach
several floors and reach a width of up to 3 meters.
4.) Glass House Façade
Glass façade is an architectural trend
in modern buildings because it reflects the parts of the surrounding on the
surface of the building. They also offer a feeling of an open space. They are
usually used in buildings and lately in houses covering large or small surfaces
e.g. living room with an open view.
Glass can be used in furniture
pieces like chairs, tables, cabinets and many more.
Sometimes it is used with
plastics, metal and wood. It is flexible
with different styles of furniture and interior.
