In today’s architecture the bending of glass plays an important role in achieving free forms in modern façades.
This paper focuses on the geometric optimization of the free-form gridshell towards planar quad glass units.
Connecting glass with heat bonds is a way to create all-transparent glass structures. Two methods have been researched in theory and practice, glass welding, through local heating, and glass fusion through global heating.
The latest Glastory post is dealing with the trends in automotive display glass processing.

Bent and tempered glass has long been of great interest to the market. The process of creating high-quality tempered bent glass has evolved over the years.
Windshield bending – The author compares different existing and new application systems for interleaving material for bending windshields. Windshield bending article was first presented at GPD 2017 by Mr. Reinhold Senf from Grafotec Spray Systems GmbH. The comparison of existing application systems e.g. roller...
Computer scientists develop a design tool that opens up the use of a cost-efficient technology for curved glass panels. The tool is based on a deep neural network and allows for the free-form design of beautiful glass façades. Curved glass façades can be stunningly beautiful, but traditional construction methods are...
Thin glass offers a promising prospect for lightweight façades with reduced use of raw materials, also opening up entirely new perspectives for architectural expression.
