Diffuse sunlight
von | Feb 2, 2011
"Linit" brand profiled glass from the glass manufacturers Lamberts is glass which, on account of its U-shape is extremely resilient and as such is particularly suitable for large surface areas. "Linit" comes in various finishes: from a silky finish and prismatic or linear textures to matte sand-blasted types with various-size grains and the color enameled versions.
US architect Steven Holl frequently uses various forms of profiled glass for his projects. Given the diffuse refraction of the sunlight pouring in, the glass plays a pivotal role in the atmosphere created inside the building.
