- Re3 glass blocks from waste glass can be dry-stackedThe project Re3 Glass by Telesilla Bristogianni and Faidra Oikonomopoulou of Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands introduces a reversible building system comprising…
- Glass brick by PoesiaGlass Brick is available in a large choice of colours, special workings and shapes: glass brick or half glass brick, glass’ column in several sizes, glass angle bar, square glass column, glass insert, half glass insert, small glass brick.
- Architectural Glass SurfacesPatterned glass using post-industrial (2/3) and reclaimed (1/3) glass. It is manufactured by fusing the glass with ceramic stains under intense heat to form flat slabs of glass with a gentle coloured look. No other materials or binders are used in the process. The glass is cooled slowly to an annealed state so that it can be cut and polished to specification. It comes in 30mm thick sheets.
- Examples of Swedish glass designIn a project called Transparency, master students from Lund University School of Industrial Design developed glass products, with a focus on the use of…
- World’s first bridge with glass columns strong enough to hold student partyGlass is an amazing sustainable material that can be recycled endlessly, without degrading. In construction, glass is mostly used for buildings, for instance in…
- Glacier and Honeycomb glassKiln-formed glacier and honeycomb glass, with glass stripes preformed and melted in a stove with approx. 900 °C. The first glaze result is smoothed by hand to achieve colour courses and then in the stove fire-polished. The glass is smoothed and brushed with diamond brushes. The honeycomb glass becomes its textures by melting optical glass poles and coloured ARTlSTA® glass.
- 3D printing with glass filament at homeIn the past years, 3D printers have become affordable enough that people can have them at home. The development of filaments has gone just…
- The Materials Behind This Ethereal Floating Glass Stair + SkylightOverlooking the side of Hong Kong Island, this stand-alone glass staircase and skylight within a two-floor apartment appears to float between the walls of…
- Bottle-Up: What if Glass Waste Could Become a Valuable Asset In Zanzibar?WHAT IF...glass waste on Zanzibar could become a valuable asset? That is the question a team of Dutch designers is taking on as part…
- Colour Chips GlassColour chips glass is made by melting carefully selected glass chips from chunks of glass. In the oven, the glass is melted together, creating a subtle integrated colour effect with a lot of depth, thanks to the thickness of the glass. The glass can be made with all desired colours and chip sizes. The dimensions are 1 by 1 metre.
- All-glass Facade Continues to Sparkle in AmsterdamLast week, the Crystal Houses located on Amsterdam’s P.C.Hooftstraat generated much excitement thanks to this Chanel flagship store’s facade of clear glass brick. Following…
- Breakthrough in Glass 3D PrintingG3DP is a new additive manufacturing platform designed to 3D print optically transparent glass with incredible accuracy. Designed by a team at MIT called…
- Curved glass on a rollGlass is a curious material. It is well understood by technologists, designers and the general public, yet it is constantly undergoing refinement, technological advancement…
- Super tough glass inspired by shellsImagine a glass that doesn’t break, but merely bends on impact. This may seem too good to be true. But after studying mollusc shells,…
- 3D Engraved GlassEach design can be engraved in the glass! 3D engraved glass designs are versatile patterns created through sub-surface laser engraving or SSLE process of engraving an image inside the surface of a glass with a good optical clarity to lessen the distortion of the laser beam.
- Electrochromic glassImagine buildings constructed entirely in glass. Now imagine the summer heat, then the wintry cold. Unpleasant conditions – especially at height, when windows can’t…
- Glass blockThe glass blocks for the memorial Madrid are made of borosilicate glass and are manufactured in round shapes, convex on the one side, concave on the other. This shape made it possible to bond them together in circular rows of blocks and, thus, create the cylindrical shape of the monument. One block alone weights 8.4 kilograms, measures 200 by 300 millimeters and is 70 millimeters thick.
- Sea GlassSea Glass is a biobased glass developed through an alternative glassmaking process that replaces mined sand with silica naturally produced by microalgae. Instead of extracting a finite geological resource, the material is grown: microalgae are cultivated, they form silica through their natural biological processes, and this biogenic silica is then used for glass production.
- Luminous GlassThe invention of this material is basically luminous float glass through the usage of luminous pigments. These pigments are silk-screened on the back of the float glass. The photo luminous pigments are loaded by (UV) light. The loaded energy will be emitted in a dark environment.
- Ornilux Bird Protection GlassBird window strikes are one of the largest avian fatality threats. To prevent these collisions, with the understanding that birds are able to see light in the ultraviolet spectrum, Arnold Glas has developed Ornilux Bird Protection Glass. The glass has a patterned, UV reflective coating making it visible to birds while remaining virtually transparent to the human eye.
- Glass with ShellsThe Shells collection of glass-inspiration is a totally new product of laminated glass with real shells integrated between two glass panels. The material has a certain translucency which gives a surprising effect when used with backlighting.
- Tiffany Façade Beijing Showcases Sculptural Glass and Recycled DesignThe Tiffany & Co. flagship store in Beijing’s Taikoo Li Sanlitun district features a façade made up of vertically arranged glass fins. Designed by…
- From Stone to GlassThe From Stone to Glass project is a new innovative technique to colouring glass. The objective is to propose an alternative to the “classical way” of colouration. Actually, the methods to colour the glass are really toxic and not sustainable. The purpose is to create a technique to get a similar result as the classical way, but using sustainable materials. This local glass is sourced from common stone located in Israel.
- Thermochromic glass TPGTPG (Thermochromic Photochromic Glass) was prepared by laminating TPI (Thermochromic Photochromic Interlayer) between two pieces of glass. TPG can be made in a similar production process to that of PVB and EVA. In addition as an safety glass as PVB laminated glass, it can adjust light transmittance by colour change dynamically according to the environmental heat and light intensity.
