  | The article examines a modular glass system about its architectural possibilities with a special focus on the connection methodology.  
  
 
  | We all know that glass lamination is the process of bonding two or more panes of glass with a flexible interlayer in between. Sounds simple. But is it always so in practice? 
  
 
  | I want you to think about your daily journey to work. Take a minute, visualize it – and then answer me this: How many glass surfaces did you see? Too many to remember? 
  
 
  | Serrated building envelopes are a very eye-catching element of contemporary architecture. This type of façade in plan resembles the edges of a serrated blade, hence the name. 
  
 
  | Limiting global warming require “rapid and far-reaching” transitions in land, energy, industry, buildings, transport, and cities. 
  
 
  | Bent and tempered glass has long been of great interest to the market. The process of creating high-quality tempered bent glass has evolved over the years. 
  
 
  | Do you still spend precious time doing the meticulous task of manually counting glass cullets for a glass fragmentation test? Or maybe your modern counting tool is not exactly the gold standard? If so, we have some good news for you! 
  
 
  | The latest Glastory blog is dealing with the newest trends coming to the bus glass market - how the cut-outs, digital and screen printing, larger surfaces and thinner glass to reduce weight and fuel consumption is challenging the glass processing.

  | Unitised Façade System Designed with a Highly Transparent Façade of Low G-value Combined with Blast Requirements 
  
 
  | For years and years research, development and discussions have been made on the safety of glass structures. 
  
 
  | Building code requirements for wind-borne debris protection have been in existence since the mid- 1990s, and as a result, many glazing systems have been tested and certified to these performance requirements. 
  
 
  | For nearly 50 years, glass has been used as structural elements in glass fin applications. These applications include interior and exterior projects, supporting facades, canopies, storefronts, curtain walls and skylights. 
  
 
  | Anisotropy is the term used in the façade industry to describe the manifestation of patterns and colourful areas in heat-treated glass under certain light and viewing conditions.  
  
 
  | Connecting glass with heat bonds is a way to create all-transparent glass structures. Two methods have been researched in theory and practice, glass welding, through local heating, and glass fusion through global heating. 
  
 
  | This paper focuses on the geometric optimization of the free-form gridshell towards planar quad glass units.
