Whether in the fields of clothing or architecture, fashion seems to be a cycle. It seems that the retro trend has set off, which has driven the Hong Kong style clothing and makeup. Similarly, in terms of architecture, we have learned that glass brick is a new product that has quickly reached the top of fashion since the flagship store of Chanel in Amsterdam. Because the visual effects brought by the transparent and shiny properties of glass are applied to the building to give people a transparent feeling, it has become a flexible and fresh life favored by designers.
Unlike ordinary single-layer glass, Chanel crystal house with glass bricks on P.C street in the Netherlands is made of two pieces of flat embossed glass with a thickness of about 5mm-6mm. The interior is close to vacuum structure and has good sound insulation effect. Moreover, the effect of light filter can be adjusted according to different glass patterns to achieve the purpose of light transmission and no shadow transmission. It can not only daylighting, but also ensure the privacy of vision and hearing. In addition to sound insulation and permeability, glass bricks are also very strong, so they are also very suitable as building materials for external walls of buildings.
In the same way, there are many old buildings renovated with glass bricks, which are amazing. For example, LV á rosiza Vieira, a world-renowned master in the field of architects, won the Golden Lion Award at the 13th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale in 1992. This renovated historical building, with a newly-built glass brick structure, has removed the sense of massiness in the original space. Another example: Leito 653 is a traditional small building located in the middle of Brazil pieros. It is more than seven stories tall and is located in a narrow place between two tall buildings. Before the renovation, the building had a milky white exterior wall. After adding a glass brick structure facade, it showed a moucharabi é effect.
The above are all about the sharing of successful application cases of glass brick in architecture.
