In modern architecture, glass is the new brick and my camera is constantly drawn to these light-reflecting surfaces, as can be seen in this gallery of glass for Ailsa’s travel theme:-
“Glass…from outside, provides distinct angles, a sense of flow, brilliance, and fluid movement”
“Glass therefore results in a new architectural sensibility.”
“miraculously beautiful because it is theoretically perfect: this is plate glass.”
“Glass is the most miraculous means of restoring the law of the sun.”
“the most direct means by which we can find one of the essential conditions for life: sun and light”
“Glass that allows total light penetration, passing through without any distortion”.
“Architecture does not die because new methods are born!”
