Challenging Glass 3
Abstract

In this paper three special glass structures are treated. Two are buildings; one is a surprise: a work of Art. The material glass plays a dominating structural role in them. The structural ins and outs of each type of building are considered with a special interest in the safety that these glass structures have to provide in order to be accepted by the authorities as structures that comply with the official standards that have to be respected. The three realized structures are as well a proof that glass slowly is turned into a trustworthy building material.
