Curved Glass

By heating glass to huge temperatures it can be curved to virtually any shape. As with anything there are always limitations and some very tight radiuses can not be achieved, but these limitations reduce year after year as new technology becomes available.

In many ways curved glass emphasises the essential properties of glass as a substance. Glass is a liquid and, by including curved sections in a scheme, it softens the footprint and highlights the fragility of the structure.

The process of heating glass in order to bend it does create some distortion across the surface. However this enhances the effect and adds an idiosyncratic view of the outside world.
