Glamorous Glass Bricks Are Booming
In 1977, a New York Times article by Carter B. Horsley proclaimed
that “Glamorous Glass Bricks Are Booming:” once a “less than
first-class” material, it was beginning to gain acceptance among
architects in residential and restaurant projects for its
translucence, privacy, visual interest, and sense of order.
However, following the industry’s brief but widespread use of glass
bricks, many now associate the material with outdated 80’s
architectural styles, an aesthetic that few seem interested in
reviving. Yet pioneering contemporary architects have begun using
this unique material in new and distinctly modern ways, whether for
sleek and minimalist bathrooms, industrial bars and restaurants,
vintage residential windows, or even experimental urban facades. As
Horsley stated, it appears that glamorous glass bricks are booming
– again.
