Crystal Palace
|
Today the Crystal Palace is still considered to be the turning point in the use of glass for architectural purposes. This article explains the magnificent structure.
|
 The Crystal Palace was build in 1851 when Great Britain was the leader of the industrial revolution. This impressive glass-and-iron structure housed the Great Exhibition in 1851. For years the Crystal Palace was the center of cultural life until it was destroyed by a fire in 1936. Different efforts have been made to restore a part of the park to its former glory.
