It's said that people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, and I can't help but wonder about the moral constitution of the inhabitants of these incredible glass architecture designs.
From clear glass homes to transparent bridges, glasschitecture is the best way to make the most of one's surrounding landscape. Do these glass architecture designs successfully maximize Mother Nature, or are they just voyeuristic?
Implications - With urban cities becoming increasingly more inhabited due to people seeking work, housing is becoming tighter. Consumers are eager for ways to utilize their small spaces in the most efficient way possible and open-concept housing is the answer. Architectural and furniture industries should focus on supplying open-concept services and products for cramped consumers.
