Computer scientists develop a design tool that opens up the use of a cost-efficient technology for curved glass panels. The tool is based on a deep neural network and allows for the free-form design ...

Ordinarily, if a window goes around the corner of a building, it's made of two flat panes of glass that are joined together by a metal rail or glue. Now, though, German scientists have developed a ...

With a new practicality influencing architects, we expect to see fewer glass-box buildings in the years to come. Opaque walls insulate better, and seem a better choice for an energy-wise future. Yet ...
