Glass architecture uses transparent or translucent glass as a structural and expressive element in buildings, from full curtain walls to pavilions and enclosed gardens. Designers working with glass must balance daylight, views, thermal performance, privacy, and the visual presence of the building in its surroundings. The material also shapes how occupants perceive boundaries between interior and exterior space.

Work shared under this topic ranges from museums and retail flagships to residential cabins, tea houses, and speculative urban proposals. Members explore how glass can frame landscape, house collections, support daily life for older residents, and reduce stress in dense cities.
