Glass in architecture refers to the use of transparent or translucent material, typically made of silica, as building material for windows, walls, and skylights. Glass provides natural light and views, improves energy efficiency, and enhances the aesthetic appearance of a building. In modern architecture, advancements in glass technology have allowed for the creation of various types of glass with different properties, including tempered, laminated, and low-emissivity glass.
