VISION 43 — THE BLOCK 2017
Glass is often considered as a one-type fits-all material
when in reality there is a broad performance spectrum
not always visible to the naked eye.
Glass is a thing of beauty but it’s also highly transparent.
You can easily take the glass enclosure for granted.
What’s there is a highly technical piece of building
fabric. It’s like anything else in a building that forms
part of the composition and any one of those can be
completely transparent and of course it’s no joke that
glass is transparent but the idea that it’s there and the
technology and the performance that it lends the
building is second to none.
