The NSG Group rolls out the third edition of Glass in Architecture

Press Release
07 Oct 2024
NSG Group will roll out the third edition of its prestigious Glass in Architecture book at this year’s Glasstec trade fair in Dusseldorf on 22nd – 25th October 2024.
Glass in Architecture

The book, originally launched in 2011, showcases some of the most prestigious architectural projects worldwide, from public buildings to private homes. It is inspired by the most creative uses of glass in buildings today and focuses on those where architects have combined functionality and sustainability with design.

All of the projects in this edition are unique. They range from La Terazza in the heart of Milan, an exceptional terrace of extraordinary all-round beauty, where the architect created a completely transparent, minimalist-style home – seemingly in the open air – one that allows all-round enjoyment of its unique character and surroundings, to the Mirror Ball at the Blackpool Promenade in the UK. Here, the corrosion-resistant mirror glass scatters rays of sunshine or floodlight across the beachfront at any time of day.

Glass in Architecture also features several public spaces, where glass has been used to create welcoming environments for visitors. From the K11 Art & Cultural Centre in Hong Kong to the La Samaritaine in Paris, France. In each situation, the glass incorporated into the architect’s design serves a variety of functions that help enhance the aesthetics of the building, as well as its overall sustainable performance.

Architect Carlo Santambrogio said: “From gravity-defying skyscrapers to culturally rich museums, glass plays a vital role in blurring the distinction between inside and outside, merging the structure seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. The architectural projects we highlight here truly exemplify the fusion of innovation and versatility that glass brings to the table.”

“Welcome to the dialogue between light, form, and sustainability.”
