LIVE from glasstec

The German code for the design of glass structures, DIN 18008, was first published in its final version in 2010 and 2013; as several major changes were suggested, the periodical revision took longer than expected.

Glass finishing is a key element of modern glass processing. Over the past decades it has developed into a precise science allowing the properties of glass surfaces to be treated selectively.

A recent study by BV Glas and Stuttgart University outlines three pathways to achieve climate neutrality in the glass industry by 2045.

‘glass technology live’ will showcase a promising new development along with many other innovations.

The approaches proposed by planners and architects for adapting to climate change will be discussed at glasstec 2024 (22-25 October, Düsseldorf) at its Architecture Forum.
