In Singapore, a commercial building with a large glass box facade was completed in 2015 (Photo 1). The facade consists of three boxes with glass roofs and glass walls. The frames supporting the glasses are made of stainless steel. They are formed of slender members and neat joints and fabricated by digital technology. The facade design concept of transparency is realized by the glasses and special frames with its material, structural system and digital fabrication.
