100% transparant floating glass boxes

b Si-X, the Netherlands The C&A building in Eindhoven will be modernised and therefore UNStudio designed several glass structures for the building. One of these glass structures are four glass boxes of 5,5 meters wide and 7 meters high, which are floating in front of the existing façade. In...

This geometry solved the problem of the limited size of the panels and also made a more economic structural form. The glass panels are connected seamless with different type of glues.
