there is a dutch project that was entirely constructed of laminated layers of structural glass -- a house -- the name and architect escape me, though, so sorry that i'm not much help...

It's "The Glass House" by Kruunenberg en Van der Erve Architecten:

dutch text with images of unfinished project

tack så mycket

thats a good one....what else?

thanks

Varsagod ochona. Hur visste du att jag ocksa pratar svenska?

Anyway, there are some classics:

H&deM art pavillion in Munich and the Eberswalde library
Norman Foster's Willis Faber & Dumas office
von Gerkan Marg and Partners Volkenroda pavillion
Wiel Aret's police station in Cuijk

and the glass in the new Porto Casa de Musica, OMA:
archined

or Dirk Jan Postel's pavillion:
archined, too

maybe some books by Andrea Compagno would help? (Although they are quite technical)

Moneo's Kursaal Auditorium in San Sebastian (Donosti), Euskadi, near Bilbao...:


check out also the site from where this pic comes from:

THat project from Moneo is spectacular, I especially like the light quality on the interior and the contrast between the glass sken and wood finishes of the interior

Rafael Moneo - KURSAAL CULTURE CENTER

I think he loved those glass blocks...

my wife and i are learning swedish for fun and profit -- i was impressed with myself when i learned how to type in swedish

Webler & Geissler's Gotz HQ in Würzburg: Shades of Green.. pretty interesting:


Wiel Arets' University Library in Utrecht has an interesting design of screen printed glass with an organic pattern (branches or trees).. though I read somewhere that it seems the users are not quite happy with the results... (the light filtered through the patterns makes it difficult to concentrate or something like that)

Nalbach+Nalbach's Café Bravo in Berlin is an interesting exepriment with reflecting glass, displaying different levels of transparency depending on the angle of the viewer and the weather and daylight:



check out also projects with special double glass like Matthias Loebermann' experimental building in Nürnberg: http://www.byak.de/architektouren2004/81.html , or Fink & Jocher center in Ingolstadt (Germany): http://www.fink-jocher.de/frame%20Prj%20Ingolstadt.html .. also Design Antenna's Glass Museum in Kingswinford (UK): http://www.dupont.com/safetyglass/lgn/stories/0301.html

we're not doing somebody's homework, are we?

I don't know.. and I don't care... :) .. ¡t's always a pleasure to review some projects...

look at James Carpenter's work

no homework, just interested in different precedents involving inovative uses for glass skins....besides thats what forums are for! :)

Bruno Taut, Glass Pavilion, Werkbund Exhibition, Cologne, Germany, 1914.

gigon_guyer's kunsthaus winterthur is subtly wicked.
