Glass – the "Bringer of Light" – has become applicable in every situation. Angelika Thiekötter reviews the history of glass in architecture from the glass palaces of the World’s Fairs and industrial exhibitions to the crystal utopias of Bruno Taut and on to important trends today. As representative of the praxis and inventive technician Marc Weidmann closely collaborates with important designers who use customized glass as an architectural accent.
