The Thickness of Glass: A Six-Meter Tall Sheet

An ultra-large floor-to-ceiling glass panel. The glass is nearly six meters high and four meters wide, a single piece of laminated tempered glass without any intermediate divisions, with a thickness of five centimeters. At the cut edge, the greenish tint of the glass and the interlayer line are visible. The top and bottom fixings are hidden recessed grooves embedded in the ceiling and floor, with no visible frames; the sides are directly joined to the walls with silicone sealant. Thus, there is only a transparent sheet between the interior and exterior, and the view is completely uninterrupted. Because the glass is extremely thick and heavy, installation requires a crane and special construction methods. The image should show the edge thickness of the glass and the city or garden outside. Avoid: visible window frames or mullions, dividing the glass into multiple pieces, making the glass appear thin and light, or adding film and patterns.

一片超大尺寸的落地玻璃。玻璃的高度接近六公尺、寬度四公尺,是一整片沒有任何中間分隔的膠合強化玻璃,厚度達五公分,在邊緣的斷面處可以看見玻璃的青綠色與夾層的線。上下的固定是嵌入天花與地面的隱藏式凹槽,完全看不見框料;兩側與牆體以矽利康直接對接。因此室內外之間只有一片透明,視野完全不被打斷。因為玻璃極厚極重,安裝需要吊車與特殊工法。畫面中可以看見玻璃的邊緣厚度與外面的城市或庭園。避免:出現可見的窗框與中挺、把玻璃分割成多片、讓玻璃看起來薄而輕、加入貼膜與圖案。
