The Architect's Newspaper Glass Edition Feature

Point Capture clarity.

Fit the bill—and the build—with new Acuity™ Low-Iron Glass. Elevate aesthetics for a modest investment, without sacrificing performance. New Acuity™ Glass by Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass) is an affordable low-iron solution available with Solarban® solar control low-e coatings, offering vivid views with no green cast. Where conventional clear glass was once a given, pure clarity is now within reach.

Furthermore, we explore how architects ™ are employing these new glass typologies in a series of case studies, including a passive tower Low-Iron Glass with a folded glass facade for Shenzhen Energy Company’s new headquarters (see page 40) and a dichroic glass facade for the Nano-Bio-Energy Technologies building at Carnegie Mellon University (see page 42).
