Glass

 

This is the central staircase in the Raymond Moriyama designed Bata Shoe Museum. That 42 ft tall window faces south and lights the whole central part of the building. The window was done by artist Lutz Haufschild using painted, bevelled and laminated glass.

This just proves that you can do a lot more with glass than you think.

That is an amazing window that must produce considerable solar heating as well as light.

I taught with a Haufschild, but I don't think they're related : not closely anyway.
