looking for examples of plays on transparency on both exterior facades and interior facades (ie voids). not perf like H&dM copper perf sheets or morphosis' stainless steel perfs.
ive looked at some of hitoshi abe's work.. any suggestions will be very helpful. thanks in advance!
Jean Nouvel's work in general... (the cartier building)
maybe an interesting angle would be projects using "natural" materials - or nature as such - like the project by Lacaton & Vassal with a double glass-facade-fishtank (with fish in it!). Or the D&S+R expo building (eventhough it's been over-exposed (no pun intended) already).
Use of fabric & mesh - maybe a number of Dominique Perrault's work might be interesting in this context.
Mies.
(and the beautifull story of John Cage looking at a Mies facade during rough weather and commenting how clever of Mies to invent thunderstorms.)
and yeah - a real Transparency Play would be awesome. a movie would not do.
Also Holl's new Nelson-Atkin's museum in KC uses a really nice double glazing system to filter light during the day and project it at night... the newest Metropolis has a large chunk devoted to it, as well at 90% of all other architecture publications out about now

You should totally write a play on transparency!

sanaa's project in toledo oh. double walled glass that is sometimes transparent, but more often highly reflective. well published this year.
