Daylight and design--Light becomes a design tool with channel glass technologies

摘要

Channel glass first made headlines for its ability to diffuse large amounts of daylight deep into interior spaces without glare or excessive shadows, while reducing heat transfer. Today, although channel glass remains an effective daylighting material, many building professionals recognize that its unique depth, profile and light-transmitting qualities can also contribute to the art of building design. Whether by shape, texture or colour, it can make modern glazed applications worth looking at, not just through.
