Low Cost Double Curvature – Exploratory Computational Modelling, FE-analysis and Prototyping of Cold-Bent Glass Open
The fabrication of projects with complex geometries often implies a significant waste of material, since custom molds need to be created and irregular shapes need to be cut out of larger sized elements. For low curvatures, cold elastic ben…

Laminated Glass Connection Details: Towards Homogeneous Material Joints in Glass Open
The demand for transparent but robust designs in architecture is still enormous. One of the most complex points of the application of glass is the use of efficient and appropriate connection details. The article examines a modular glass sy…
