The significance of glass in buildings can hardly be overestimated. In the façade and the roof, it fulfils a vital role in the interaction between a building and its surroundings. Not only in terms of light, heat, and noise transmission, but also in a communicative, aesthetic and visual sense. In the interior too, glass is at the forefront. Walls, doors, stairs, and floors are often (partially) constructed from glass. More and more often, it is used structurally, as shear walls, columns or beams.
