Norman Foster's London City Hall, a great example of contemporary architectural glass

Speaking of Bruno Taut recently, there are two significant works of contemporary architectural glass in London that bring the Glass Pavilion to mind every time I see them — City Hall and the Swiss Re Headquarters, both conceived by English architect Norman Foster (Foster + Partners).

Bruno Taut’s Glass Pavilion, 1914 (Image via Wikipedia Commons)

Thinking recently about why art museums matter got me thinking about works of art and architecture that evoke a sense of reverence. These ruminations (along with others around meaningful integrations of glass in architecture) brought to mind Bruno Taut’s Glass Pavilion from 1914, one of my all-time favorite feats of glass architecture.
