Glass construction technology has undergone impressive developments over the last few decades. However, the material itself and production methodologies have not changed nor did alternative connection methods find their way to a broad use. To enforce more research, the scope of possibilities has to be implemented in architectural and engineering design work in order to generate a request for execution. This proposal wants to deliver design and architectural visions, related to anticipated technologies, currently used solely on an experimental level or considered to be impossible.
